The existence of xylem and phloem has been known about for hundreds of years, since the microscope was invented in the 1600s. Xylem (from the Greek word for wood) carries water from the roots to the rest of the plant. Phloem (from the Greek word for bark) carries food from the leaves to wherever it is needed
The discovery of xylem is not attributed to one specific person, as our understanding of plant anatomy and physiology has been developed over centuries by multiple scientists and researchers. However, early observations of xylem cells were made by botanists such as Marcello Malpighi in the 17th century.
