Question

If the bark of the tree is trimmed, the
tree shows stunted growth after some
days. Why?
(Hint: Phloem cells are located in the
bark of trees.)​

Answer 1

$\sf{Answer}$

• When a tree has been damaged by removing a ring of bark, the tree may die depending on how completely it was girdled. ... The reason for damage due to girdling is that the phloem layer of tissue just below the bark is responsible for carrying food produced in the leaves by photosynthesis to the roots.
