root hair cells
E
phloem
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Translocation occurs in the phloem tissue, which consists of tube-like structures called phloem vessels. These phloem vessels run from the leaves into every other part of the plant and are responsible for transporting dissolved organic solutes, such as sucrose and amino acids, from the sources to the sinks.

Detailed explanation-2: -Xylem and phloem are the two vascular tissues that are responsible for the transport of substances in plants. Phloem helps the bidirectional transport of food whereas xylem helps in the unidirectional transport of water.
