Detailed explanation-1: -Phloem transports products of photosynthesis from the leaves where they are synthesized to other parts.

Detailed explanation-2: -Phloem moves sugar that the plant has produced by photosynthesis to where it is needed for processes such as: growing parts of the plant for immediate use. storage organs such as bulbs and tubers.

Detailed explanation-3: -These sugars are transported across the plant by the phloem, a mechanism known as translocation. Sinks are sugar distribution points such as roots, young shoots, and developing plants. The product of photosynthesis is transported from source of production to the storage organs through Phloem.

Detailed explanation-4: -Water Transport from Roots to Shoots The structure of plant roots, stems, and leaves facilitates the transport of water, nutrients, and photosynthates throughout the plant. The phloem and xylem are the main tissues responsible for this movement.
