Question

(a) From a tree, the bark which includes the phloem is removed. The tree eventually dies. Explain.
(b) How do plants get rid of excess water?

Answer 1

1. phloem tissue in plants is responsible for the transport of food that plants make by undergoing photosynthesis . now if this tissue is removed it is clear from the fact that surely the plant will die as it will not get its food.
2. the plants get rid of excess water by the process of transpiration through stomatol pores
