Detailed explanation-1: -Phloem is a vascular tissue that helps in transportation of sugars and other organic substances from leaves to various plant parts. They transport food in both directions. The tranportation of food, also known as translocation, is an active process i.e., it occurs with the expenditure of energy (ATP).
Detailed explanation-2: -Xylem transports only inorganic nutrients while phloem transports only organic materials.
Detailed explanation-3: -Phloem tissue transports organic substances in plants. These organic substances include sugars, such as sucrose, and some mineral ions, which travel as the dissolved form of sap. They go to storage organs and growing areas of the plant. The process is known as translocation.
