Everything organic dies at some point, being part of the bark of a tree makes it more susceptible to to damage and death.
If all the xylem and phloem were not destroyed parts of the plant may survive but others would die, but eventually the whole plant would die because of lack of nutrients. If the xylem and phloem were all destroyed when the plant would die as it would receive no water or nutrients it needs.
for example phloem .... doesnt have a nucleus ... and it needs a nucleus to survive ... thats why they have a companion cell which have a nucleus for them ...if u try to separate the companion cell from the phloem the phloem will die after some time
The plant will wilt and die ultimately
No xylem die at maturity but phloem stays alive all the time the plant is alive.
the top of the phloem will swell
i hate when i search this stuff for apex and find no answers.
The food conducting tissue of a plant is called phloem. Phloem is responsible for transporting sugars and other organic nutrients produced by photosynthesis throughout the plant.
A phloem transports food to a plant.
Phloem as well as xylem
Phloem is found in plants.
i) Sieve tubes (ii) Companion cells (iii) Phloem parenchyma (iv) Phloem fibres
The phloem is closer to the cortex in a plant stem.
