  • Phloem: The Plant's Sugar Transport System - Definition & Function
    The part of the plant that transports sugars produced by photosynthesis to non-green parts is the phloem.

    Here's why:

    * Phloem is a type of vascular tissue that runs throughout the plant. It's made up of living cells that form long tubes.

    * Photosynthesis occurs in the leaves, producing sugars (glucose).

    * Sugars are transported through the phloem from the leaves to other parts of the plant, like roots, stems, flowers, and fruits, where they are used for energy, growth, and storage.
