Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the function of phloem in plants?
  • Step 1: Understand that plants make food through a process called photosynthesis, which happens mainly in the leaves.
  • Step 2: Know that the food made in the leaves is mostly in the form of sugars.
  • Step 3: Learn that phloem is a special tissue in plants that helps move this food (sugars) from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
  • Step 4: Realize that the other parts of the plant, like stems and roots, need this food to grow and stay healthy.
