Where does the phloem get the food that it carries to the stem and roots?

While xylem transports only in one direction...up, the phloem can move nutrients in either direction. The phloem gets nutrients from the roots to take up to the leaves to be used in photosynthesis and moves sugars and other nutrients produced from the photosynthetic process down to the roots for storage.

What type of vascular tissue carries water and minerals from roots to the stem and leaves?
False, Phloem tissue does
What part of the plant carries sugar from the leafs to the rest of the plants parts?
It is the phloem. The stem connects all the plant parts. And in the stem are two kinds of tubes: the xylem and the phloem. The xylem transports water and mineral salts from the roots to the rest of the plant. The phloem transports food from the leaves to the rest of the plant. Sugar is considered to be food for plants and therefore the answer is the phloem. If you need not specific details, the stem would be an okay answer.
What is closest to the center of a woody stem?
Vascular cambium
What part of plant carries food water and nutrients to and from the roots?
Stem
What are the two vascular tissues found in the root and stem systems?
Xylem and Phloem Xylem-transports water from the roots Phloem-transports food from the process of photosynthesis through other parts of the plant
What tissue carries glucose from the leaves back to the stem and roots?
phloem tissues
Tissue which carries glucose from the leaves back to the stem and roots?
Phloem
What type of vascular tissue carries water and minerals from roots to the stem and leaves?
False, Phloem tissue does
What transports food to stem and roots?
In plants the Phloem is responsible for transporting nutrients.
What carrys water from the roots to the leaves?
What carries the water and minerals from root to the leaf are known as something called vascular bundles. These consist of 2 which are the xylem and the phloem. Both of these transport either food up then leaf (phloem) and the xylem carries the water up the stem. Cheers

there are cells in the phloem that pulls the food upwards
