Detailed explanation-1: -Phloem is a highly specialised vascular tissue that forms an interconnected network of continuous strands throughout a plant’s body. It transports sugars, nutrients, and a range of signalling molecules between leaves, roots, flowers, and fruits. As a result, phloem is central to plant function.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sucrose, which is formed by the plant during photosynthesis, is a sugar transported through the phloem of the plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -The vascular system is comprised of two main types of tissue: the xylem and the phloem. The xylem distributes water and dissolved minerals upward through the plant, from the roots to the leaves. The phloem carries food downward from the leaves to the roots.
