phloem
Plant food pipeline
Phloem is the tissue in plants that transports sugars and other nutrients from the leaves to the rest of the plant.
It works alongside xylem, which carries water upward from the roots.
Together they form the plant's vascular system—the network of internal tubes that moves essential substances throughout stems, roots, and leaves.
