The phloem carries the food down from the leaves. Not to be confused with xylem, which carries water up to the leaves.

Phloem transports food from the leaves to the roots (as well as the rest of the plant), xylem transports water from the roots to the rest of the plant.

What is the vasculuar tissue that transports water and minerals through a plant?

Xylem transports water up to the leaves.Water:Is absorbed from the soil through root hair cellsIs transported through the xylem vessels up the stem to the leaves.Evaporates from the leaves (transpiration)But the phloem transports nutrients to the leaves.


Where are the tubes of vascular plants found?

All over the body except on the cornea of the eye. Oxygen diffuses directly from the air to corneal cells to keep the cornea transparent. There are fewer blood vessels in connective tissue and bone than in high metabolic areas such as muscle cells and organ cells, but blood vessels (vascular tissue) is found all over the body. If you mean plants, that's a different category, but xylem and phloem are the vascular tissues of plants, found from roots through stem to leaves. In woody plants, this thin layer of tissue is found right under the bark.


What is the function of vascular tissues in plants?

The vascular system in plants have two components: xylem and pholem. The xylem helps in the transport of water absorbed through roots to all the aerial parts of the plant and the phloem helps in transporting the manufactured food from leaves to all other parts of the plant.


The vascular tissue in a plant's stem?

Yes. The process is driven at the roots by osmosis, where the increased pressure of solutes causes the nutrients to enter the plant, and they travel within the plant, and at the leaf phase, the water evaporates from the stomata thus providing a second driving force.


Cell layer that helps transport water to the vascular core?

The cortex is the cell layer inside the epidermis that helps to transport water to the vascular core. Tissue that gives rise to lateral roots is a pericycle.
