Hiii

Multidirectional transport is simply transportation from both the sides.

Xylem transport is only unidirectional while transport through phloem is multi-directional.

But minerals are taken up by xylem from the surrounding tissues actively, and even though they flow along with the water column, they are actively unloaded near 'sink' sites. Sometimes, minerals are also taken up from aging parts and transported to growing areas of the plant. Then shouldn't mineral transport through xylem be multi directiona

DEAR FRIEND

In this, mineral and organic nutrients undergo multidirectional transport. It includes the organic compounds that are formed during photosynthesis are exported to all parts of the plants along with storage organs.
