Question

Without phloem, a plant would be unable to _____.

absorb water from the soil
take in sunlight from the sun
transport food from its leaves

Answer 1

ITS TRANSPORT FOOD FROM THE LEAVES. taking in sunlight is done by the leaves transporting water from the roots to the leaves is done by xylem vessels not phloem

Answer 2

transport food from its leaves

Step-by-step explanation:

Phloem is a type of vascular tissue in plants which performs the function of transporting food from leafs to the various parts of the plants. We all know that food is synthesized in the leaf of plants because chlorophyll is present only in leaf. But food is required by all other parts of the plant not only leaf. So once it is synthesized, it is translocated to other parts of plant like roots, stems, branches etc by means of phloem.
