Is wood from a tree secondary or primary phloem?
Wood is primarily composed of secondary xylem, while phloem is the vascular tissue responsible for transporting nutrients. Trees produce primary phloem during their early growth stages, but as they mature, they develop secondary phloem through the activity of the vascular cambium. Therefore, while wood itself is not phloem, trees have both primary and secondary phloem for nutrient transport.
