cuticle

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The mechanism by which sugars are transported through the phloem, from sources to sinks, is called pressure flow. At the sources (usually the leaves), sugar molecules are moved into the sieve elements (phloem cells) through active transport.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sucrose is synthesized in photosynthetically active cells from fructose and glucose and is then transported via the phloem to heterotrophic parts of the plant.
