∙ 10y agoYes, aphids feed on a plant's phloem sap.
Specifically, the phloem flows hormone-, mineral- and sugar-enriched watery solutions downward from a plant's above-ground body parts. The sap is accessed by aphids whose mouthparts break into leaves and shoots to remove the above-mentioned sap. Scientists refer to this kind of feeding by aphids as passive since gravity essentially brings the fluids automatically into the pest's awaiting, opened mouth.

∙ 14y agoBy way of sucking mouth parts aphids [Aphidoideasuperfamily] eat their food. Aphid mouth parts are called 'stylets'. They're used to break open the phloem vessels in plants. Aphids then suck out the sap, which is needed for life sustaining processes in plants. Aphids often use their stylets to put pathogens into the plants that their feeding leaves weaken and stress.
