Phloem is a complex tissue which acts as a transport system for soluble organic compounds without vascular plants.The phloem is made up of living tissues which use turgor pressure and energy in the form of ATP to actively transport sugar to the plant organs such as fruits, flowers, buds and roots; the other material that makes up the vascular plant transport system, the xylem moves water and minerals from roots to the parts of the plant.
