Detailed explanation-1: -Sugars produced in sources, such as leaves, need to be delivered to growing parts of the plant via the phloem in a process called translocation, or movement of sugar.

Detailed explanation-2: -Translocation is the movement of elements within a plant from leaves to other tissue. Plants’ phloem, a type of vascular tissue, is where translocation takes place. Sugars that are produced by photosynthesis or that are stored in plant tissues like roots, bulbs, and tubers are examples of sugar sources.

Detailed explanation-3: -Translocation is the movement of materials in plants from the leaves to other parts of the plant. Nutrients, mainly sugars, are created in the leaves during photosynthesis. These are then transported throughout the plant through phloem, which are a long series of connected cells.
