Summary Introduction
Introduction: Symplast is present in phloem tissue of a pant; this is present in the inner side of the plasma membrane in which water and low-molecular-weight solutes can easily diffuse. It is a network of highly ordered, connected living axial and radial parenchyma cells in inner bark and sap wood.
