The plant tissue that carries food materials DOWNWARD from the leaves to the rest of the pant is the ____
A
Phloem
B
Stomata
C
Chlorophyll
D
Xylem
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The two primary vascular tissues are xylem, which transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the leaves, and phloem, which conducts food from the leaves to all parts of the plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -The phloem carries food downward from the leaves to the roots. Xylem cells constitute the major part of a mature woody stem or root. They are stacked end to end in the center of the plant, forming a vertical column that conducts water and minerals absorbed by the roots upward through the stem to the leaves.

Detailed explanation-3: -Phloem: Phloem is the plant tissue that helps in carrying the food to different parts of a plant. Phloem in the plants transfers food made in leaves to all other parts of the plant. It is composed of cells called sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem fibres, and phloem parenchyma cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vascular tissues are those tissue that is responsible for the transport of food, minerals, and water throughout the plant.

Detailed explanation-5: -Phloem (/ˈfloʊ. əm/, FLOH-əm) is the living tissue in vascular plants that transports the soluble organic compounds made during photosynthesis and known as photosynthates, in particular the sugar sucrose, to the rest of the plant. This transport process is called translocation.
