Food is transported in plants by a special organ called as phloem. Phloem transports food materials from leaf to different parts of a plant. Transportation of food in phloem is achieved by the expenditure of ATP9 energy). This increases osmotic pressure in the tissue causing water to move. This pressure moves material in the Phloem to the tissues with less pressure. This is helping in transportation of food material as per the needs. Ex: Sucrose

Answer:
The phloem tissue in plants transports food materials from the leaves to different parts of the plant. The transportation of food in phloem is achieved by utilizing energy from ATP. As a result, the osmotic pressure in the tissue increases forcing the water to move through it.
