Summary Introduction
To identify:
The plant organs that are sugar sources, that are sugar sinks, and organs that might be either.
Introduction:
Phloem is the tissue that transports the photosynthetic product or its analogs from one part of plant to another. The xylem tissues transport the water and nutrients from roots to the leaves in the unidirectional manner, whereas the phloem allows the movement of sap where it is required.
