Phloem is actually composed of still-living cells that transport sap. Perhaps you are asking about xylem which is composed primarily of dead cells.
Dead xylem cells are called "tracheids" or "vessel elements," while dead phloem cells are called "sieve cells" or "sieve tube members."
Yes, dead phloem cells contribute to the outer protective layer of a tree known as bark. The outermost layer of bark is primarily composed of dead cells, including dead phloem tissue, that provide protection from environmental factors and pathogens.
The two transport systems in a tree are the xylem and phloem. The xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while the phloem transports sugars produced through photosynthesis to other parts of the tree.
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.
No, mature phloem tissue is not dead upon maturity. Phloem tissue remains alive and functional, aiding in the transport of sugars and other organic compounds throughout the plant. The cells in mature phloem tissue are specialized for this function and typically stay alive for an extended period.
When the phloem is dead it causes bark to form on a tree. A secondary growth in the cortex result in the bark formation a a tree

dead phloem causes bark to formon atree
in the middle of the tree
False. The woody cells of a tree are primarily formed from living cells called cambium that produce new layers of xylem and phloem, which then become part of the tree's structure as they mature and lignify. Wood cells themselves are actually dead at maturity and provide structural support to the tree.
No
tree trunks have xylem and phloem

Old phloem is called the secondary phloem. It is produced by the vascular cambium in plants and serves to transport sugars and other nutrients throughout the plant.
