What type of vascular tissue is responsible for transporting the sugars made in photosynthesis from the leaves to the roots and from the roots to any part of the plant needing food?
A
Cuticle
B
Phloem
C
Stomata
D
Xylem
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -phloem, plant vascular tissue that conducts foods made in the leaves during photosynthesis to all other parts of the plant. Phloem is composed of various specialized cells called sieve elements, phloem fibres, and phloem parenchyma cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Phloem tissue, which transports organic compounds from the site of photosynthesis to other parts of the plant, consists of sieve cells and companion cells. Sieve cells conduct sugars and other organic compounds, and are arranged end-to-end with pores called sieve plates between them to allow movement between cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Phloem is tissue that delivers food, made in a plant’s leaves during photosynthesis, to the rest of the plant. This tissue is part of the plant’s vascular system, which can be seen in the veins on leaves.

Detailed explanation-4: -Phloem, the vascular tissue responsible for transporting organic nutrients around the plant body, carries dissolved sugars from the leaves (their site of production) or storage sites to other parts of the plant that require nutrients.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: Phloem is a type of transport tissue in vascular plants that carries nutrients and sugars produced through photosynthesis.
