Phloem is the tissue in plants that transport food to the parts of the plant where it needs to go. An example of the phloem is the tissue in plants that distributes the sugar that plants eat. the vascular tissue in vascular plants that conducts and distributes sugars and other dissolved foods from the places where the food is produced to the places where it is needed or stored. Origin of phloem.
This specialized cellular network is the vascular tissue system; plants with vascular tissues are referred to as vascular plants. The vascular tissue system is composed of two different types of tissues: xylem and phloem. Although both xylem and phloem form a continuous tissue system throughout the plant body, the two tissues have different functions. Xylem is the primary water- and mineral-conducting tissue, and phloem is the primary food-conducting tissue. Unlike the circulatory system in animals, the vascular tissue in plants does not recirculate water.
