Summary Introduction
Introduction: The phloem is a complex tissue present in vascular plants. The soluble organic compounds synthesized during photosynthesis are transported by the phloem. It is also responsible for the transport of food materials from leaves to other plant portions. Companion cells, phloem fibers, phloem parenchyma, and sieve tube elements are the elements of the phloem.
