What would happen if the position of the xylem and phloem were reversed in a persimmon tree?

Depends on your plant and its size.
In dicots, the xylem in the interior of the stem becomes "heartwood" as the plant gets bigger, and in this state helps hold up the tree. Reversing xylem and phloem in this situation would give you a plant without heartwood and therefore not able to grow to a large size.
In monocots, no problem. Monocots have "vascular bundles" which have both xylem and phloem; these occur throughout the stem.

What happen to the plant when the outer ring of a stem was removed?
the phloem will be removed and the plant will die
What is called the food conducting tissue of a plant?
phloem
Types of vascular bundles?
Vascular bundles may be radial or conjoint depending on the position of xylem and phloem. They may be open or closed depending on the presence or absence of cambium between their xylem and phloem. They may be scattered or arranged in a ring.
Drawing xylem and phloem?
Phloem is on the outside.
What type of vascular tissue carries water and minerals from roots to the stem and leaves?
False, Phloem tissue does
What will happen if a plant without functional phloem cells?
Hh
What will happen after the phloem and xylem is gone?
The plant will wilt and die ultimately
What happen to the plant when the outer ring of a stem was removed?
the phloem will be removed and the plant will die
What is called the food conducting tissue of a plant?
phloem
What is tissue that moves food from leaves and stems?
Phloem .

What will happen to the plant if it does not have the phloem tube?
Then the pollen would not be able to reach the ovule therefore it will not be able to make a seed
What do the phloem do?
A phloem transports food to a plant.
Drawing xylem and phloem?
Phloem is on the outside.
What type of vascular tissue carries water and minerals from roots to the stem and leaves?
False, Phloem tissue does
Which tissue transports soluble products of photosynthesis in plants?
phloemxylem mesophyll ground tissue
If the xylem or phloem were damaged what would happen to the plant?
If all the xylem and phloem were not destroyed parts of the plant may survive but others would die, but eventually the whole plant would die because of lack of nutrients. If the xylem and phloem were all destroyed when the plant would die as it would receive no water or nutrients it needs.
