Sugars produced in sources, such as leaves, need to be delivered to growing parts of the plant via thephloem in a process calledtranslocation, or movement of sugar. ... Intermediate leaves will send products in both directions, unlike the flow in the xylem, which is always unidirectional (soil to leaf to atmosphere)...❤

Food is synthesized in the green parts of a plant. The non-green parts are depended on the photosynthetic cells for nourishment. The food in the form of sucrose is transported by the vascular tissue phloem. Let us learn a bit more about phloem transport. The transportation occurs in the direction of the source to sink. Transport of organic solutes from one part of the plant to the other through phloem sieve tubes is called translocation of organic solvents.
