Detailed explanation-1: -Stems possess specialized tissues called vascular bundles that conduct food and water to all parts of the plant. 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: -Chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells. It is like a solar panel that changes sunlight energy into electric energy. The entire process is called photosynthesis and it all depends on the little green chlorophyll molecules in each chloroplast.

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-4: -Phloem is the vascular tissue which transports food from leaves to the other parts of the plant. Phloem is composed of various specialized cells called sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem fibers and phloem parenchyma cells.
