| Phloem description |
|---|
| In vascular plants, phloem (pronunciation: /fl.m/) is the living tissue that transports the soluble organic compounds made during photosynthesis and known as photosynthates, in particular the sugar sucrose, to parts of the plant where needed. This transport process is called translocation. In trees, the phloem is the innermost layer of the bark, hence the name, derived from the Greek word (phloios) meaning "bark". The term was introduced by Nägeli in 1858. |
