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 else can I help you with?
What type of vascular tissue carries water and minerals from roots to the stem and leaves?
Xylem tissue is responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the stem and leaves of a plant. It consists of specialized cells that form a network of tubes to facilitate the upward flow of water and nutrients.
What part of plant carries food water and nutrients to and from the roots?
The vascular system of a plant, composed of xylem and phloem tissues, carries water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant and transports food produced during photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts of the plant. The xylem primarily transports water and minerals upward, while the phloem primarily transports sugars and other nutrients in multiple directions throughout the plant.
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 are the two vascular tissues found in the root and stem systems?
The two vascular tissues found in the root and stem systems are xylem and phloem. Xylem is responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while phloem is responsible for transporting nutrients and sugars produced through photosynthesis to different parts of the plant.
Tissue which carries glucose from the leaves back to the stem and roots?
Phloem
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

What tissue carries glucose from the leaves back to the stem and roots?
The phloem tissue is responsible for transporting glucose and other nutrients from the leaves to the rest of the plant, including the stem and roots. This transport system allows for the distribution of sugars produced during photosynthesis to different parts of the plant for energy and growth.
What part of the root does the food flow down through?
the food made in the leaves travel through stem to the roots.
What part of plant carries food water and nutrients to and from the roots?

What Carries sugar from leaves down the stem into the root?
It is the phloem
A plant part that holds the plant up and carries food and water to other plant parts?
The xylem delivers water and the phloem delivers food
