Detailed explanation-1: -Xylem and phloem are conducting tissues that together form the vascular bundles. Phloem carries food from the leaf to the different parts of the plant.
Detailed explanation-2: -Xylem transports and stores water and water-soluble nutrients in vascular plants. Phloem is responsible for transporting sugars, proteins, and other organic molecules in plants.
Detailed explanation-3: -Phloem is tissue that delivers food, made in a plant’s leaves during photosynthesis, to the rest of the plant. This tissue is part of the plant’s vascular system, which can be seen in the veins on leaves.
Detailed explanation-4: -The one word to denote transportation of food via Phloem is “Translocation”. Sucrose and amino acids are transported by Phloem up and down through the plant. The process of translocation involves transportation of food into sieve tubes from where food can travel upward or downward to all the parts of the plant.
