Detailed explanation-1: -Phloem is responsible for transporting sugars, proteins, and other organic molecules in plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vascular tissue transports water, minerals, and sugars to different parts of the plant. Vascular tissue is made of two specialized conducting tissues: xylem and phloem.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant Physiology and Development Phloem is one of the two tissues that make up the plant’s long-distance transport system, the other being xylem. Phloem translocates water and products of photosynthesis from source tissues to the sink regions where they are utilized or stored.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
