Phloem provides a passage for the downward movement of the food manufactured in leaves to various parts of the plant.
.food is carried by phloem and water is carried by xylem.
The vascular tissues in plants are composed of Xylem and Phloem. These tissues allow nutrients and water to be transported in the other parts of the plant.
Trunk of any tree is its heart. In other words, It contains number of xylem and phloem which nourishes all the leaves of a plant. Outer covering of trunk serves the function of protection.
Simply put, these are the growth areas of the plant.
It is the phloem
it helps the leaf grow
Xylem and phloem are located in the vascular bundles of a leaf, which are found in the midrib or veins. Xylem is typically located on the upper side of the leaf, while phloem is found on the lower side. These vascular bundles transport water and nutrients throughout the leaf.
Phloem: tubes that usually move sap, with dissolved sucrose, produced by photosynthesis in the leaf, out of the leaf and to other parts of the plant.

The scientific term for the vein of a leaf is Xylem and phloem.
The vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) in the leaf are continuous with those in the stem and root. They serve the function of transporting water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant. Additionally, the epidermal tissue on the leaf's surface is continuous with the epidermal tissues in the stem and root, providing a protective barrier against environmental stresses.
