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 is called the food conducting tissue of a plant?
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.
Is the xylem or the phloem closer to the cortex?
The phloem is closer to the cortex in a plant stem.
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.
What are the two different types of vascular tissue?
Phloem and xylem are the two main types of vascular tissue found in plants. Xylem is the tissue that mainly carries water, and a few minerals, in the system. Phloem is the tissue that carries photosynthetic materials through the plant.
What is the name of the tissue that contains seive tubes?
Parenchyma cells in "phloem tissue"
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 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 is called the food conducting tissue of a plant?
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.
What do the phloem do?
A phloem transports food to a plant.
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.
Do Vascular plants have phloem?
Phloem as well as xylem
Is phloem in a plant or in an animal?
Phloem is found in plants.
What are constituents of phloem?
i) Sieve tubes (ii) Companion cells (iii) Phloem parenchyma (iv) Phloem fibres
Is the xylem or the phloem closer to the cortex?
The phloem is closer to the cortex in a plant stem.
What is a sentence for phloem?
A plant's Vascular is made up of Phloem............
Are phloem cells alive?
Yes, Phloem cells are alive.
