Phloem is the term for the outer softer part that finally becomes the cork of a tree.

Specifically, phloem functions as an "inner bark." It is located between the outer bark and the cambium cell layer. It lives for just a short while to transport food. It turns into cork when it dies and thereby serves as part of the outer protective bark of a tree.

How does the outer core drive convection?

The outer core drives convection through the process of heat transfer. The heat generated from the inner core warms the outer core, causing it to become less dense and rise towards the mantle. As it cools, it becomes denser and sinks back towards the core, creating a cycle of convection that drives the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates.
