Phloem transports food to the leaves where it is broken down into energy for the plant by photosynthesis. Xylem transports water, a product of photosynthesis.

They're the major components of a plant's vascular system. Xylem tubes conduct water and minerals, while phloem tubes conduct food. Photosynthesis is the source of the energy needed to do this. It requires CO2 and water, which are carried throughout the plant by the xylem. Sugars that have been manufactured by photosynthesis are moved through the phloem cells.
