Detailed explanation-1: -Translocation occurs in the phloem tissues, which consist of tube-like vessels 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: -Translocation is the movement of sucrose around a plant from a source to a sink. It’s bidirectional, which means it can transport substances both up and down the plant. Translocation occurs in a specialized tissue called the phloem, which consists of sieve tube elements and companion cells.
