Question

Does phloem give mechanical support to plants?

Answer 1

Answer:

Phloem tissue transports photosynthetic products, other organic molecules (e.g., plant hormones and waste products), and soluble nutrients throughout the plant. Unlike xylem, phloem is alive at maturity, but usually with a much reduced cell contents and no nucleus. ... Phloem fibers also provide some mechanical support.

Explanation:

Phloem won't give any mechanical strength to the plants. Xylem and Phloem are the parts of the vascular bundle. Vascular bundles are defined as the strands of conducting vessels having xylem and Phloem to supply water from roots and food prepared by leaves to the remaining parts of the plant.

Answer 2

                  ʜᴇʀᴇ ɪs ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴀɴsᴡᴇʀ

Yes Phloem give mechanical support to plants

Xylem transports and stores water and water-soluble nutrients in vascular plants. Phloem is responsible for transporting sugars, proteins, and other organic molecules in plants. Vascular plants are able to grow higher than other plants due to the rigidity of xylem cells, which support the plant. These are the main difference between xylem and phloem.
