Phloem is a type of vascular tissue in plants responsible for the transport of nutrients, primarily sugars produced through photosynthesis, from the leaves to other parts of the plant. It consists of several cell types, including sieve elements, companion cells, phloem fibers, and phloem parenchyma. Sieve elements lack nuclei and are interconnected by sieve plates, allowing for efficient transport, while companion cells support their function. Phloem is typically located towards the outer part of the vascular bundle and is crucial for plant growth and metabolism.
