Phloem transport is bidirectional, since the requirement of food in a plant is both ways(roots and shoots both), so food is transported downwards as well as upwards and hence this is an active process consuming energy.
Also the source-sink relationship between roots and shoots varies with seasons:
For example,
→ in winters,lack of sunlight means little to none photosynthesis, so leaves need food, here roots act as source and transport the food(which was stored in the roots) upwards.
→ in summers, ample sunlight means proper photosynthesis and here leaves become the source and transport food to the roots in the downward direction and shoot in the upward direction.
Also the source-sink relationship between roots and shoots varies with seasons:
For example,
→ in winters,lack of sunlight means little to none photosynthesis, so leaves need food, here roots act as source and transport the food(which was stored in the roots) upwards.
→ in summers, ample sunlight means proper photosynthesis and here leaves become the source and transport food to the roots in the downward direction and shoot in the upward direction.
