Compromise foliage, encourage ants, introduce pathogens, remove sap, and welcome fungi are ways in which aphids damage plants.
Specifically, the insect in question (Aphidoideasuperfamily) breaks through foliage in order to access life-sustaining, nutrient-rich phloem and xylem sap. It excretes honeydew, which appeals to ants committed to sugar-rich -- as opposed to protein-rich -- diets and to black sooty mold. It leaves openings which remain permanent because of the sheaths which an aphid piercing mouthpart uses to break into foliage.
