Detailed explanation-1: -Phloem cells send food material to the different parts of plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -The vascular system is comprised of two main types of tissue: the xylem and the phloem. The xylem distributes water and dissolved minerals upward through the plant, from the roots to the leaves. The phloem carries food downward from the leaves to the roots.

Detailed explanation-3: -The phloem tissue transports sugars made from the leaves to the rest of the plant. Food is also transported to storage organs. Phloem is a living tissue, phloem cells are alive. The movement of dissolved sugars from the leaves to the rest of the plant is called translocation.

Detailed explanation-4: -The vascular tissue, phloem helps in the transportation of the synthesized food from the leaves to various storage organs. Phloem is a complex permanent tissue that is present in all vascular plants. Phloem consists of various elements-phloem parenchyma, phloem fibers, companion cells, and sieve tubes.
