Question

What is called the process by which food is transported in plants by pholem tissues?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Unlike xylem (which is composed primarily of dead cells), the phloem is composed of still-living cells that transport sap. The sap is a water-based solution, but rich in sugars made by the photosynthetic areas. These sugars are transported to non-photosynthetic parts of the plant, such as the roots, or into storage structures, such as tubers or bulbs - predominantly a downward movement from the leaves.
