Difference between tracheids and sieve tubes

Tracheid is a dead cell of the xylem tissue. They have tapering ends and narrow lumen. They are spindle shaped cells that are present in young plants.

Seive tubes are the living cell of the phloem tissue. They are a tube like stucture which along with the seive plate and seive pores helps in the conduction of food.

Hope this helps !! : )
