Question

In onions, the edible portion is a bulb that functions in storing plant food. In which tissue does food travel from the leaves to the bulb?

xylem


phloem


tracheids

Answer 1

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The tissue where the food travel from the leaves to the bulb would be the phloem. It is the living tissue that transports the soluble organic compounds made during photosynthesis.
