CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

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: -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-3: -Vascular tissue in plants is made of two specialized conducting tissues: xylem, which conducts water, and phloem, which conducts sugars and other organic compounds. A single vascular bundle always contains both xylem and phloem tissues.

Detailed explanation-4: -Phloem is the vascular tissue that transports carbon (photosynthates) from the leaves to basal parts of the plant, and vascular cambium is undifferentiated tissue responsible for secondary growth and repair of damaged phloem (Lalonde et al., 2004).
