W-X, Water, Xylem. Water enters the plant through the roots, so moves upward.
Food "Flow-em" through the phloem, so it moves down from the leaves to the stem and roots, but it can also move up from the roots to the rest of the plant. Example: maple sap in the spring.

Transpiration is the process that moves water through a plant. Water evaporates out through openings in the leaves (stoma) and when it does capillary action pulls water that is coming in through the roots, up through the plant. So water moves from the roots up and out to the leaves. Xylem and Phloem are the tubes that the water and other substances travel through. Xylem carries water and phloem primarily carries the carbohydrates that are made in photosynthesis.
So the short answer to that I guess would just be up (root to leaves).

Phloem "phlows" downwards.
Xylem, thus, goes up.
