Translocation in Plants

Translocation in Plants:·

Foods in plants are manufactured by the leaves. Once the food is prepared, it needs to be sent to all parts of the plant. The process by which this takes place is called translocation.

Special types of tissues called phloem act as pipelines, and carry the prepared food to all parts of the plant. Xylem and phloem are known as conducting tissues of a plant. They are also called vascular tissues as they are present in special structures called vascular bundles.

The vascular system extends from roots through the stem and continues up to the leaves. Water and minerals are transported from roots upwards through the xylem tubes.
