Statement 1 : Xylem transport is unidirectional.
Statement 2 : Phloem transport is bi-directional.

Transport in Plants

Solution:

Water passage from root hair to xylem and then to other parts is unidirectional (unidirectional upwards in xylem). The direction of movement of organic solutes in phloem can be upwards or downwards i.e., bi-directional.
