Phloem is responsible for transport of which substance in plants?

Food Substances

The correct answer is Option (1) Food Substances

Phloem is responsible for the transport of food substances in plants. Specifically, it transports the products of photosynthesis, such as sugars (mainly sucrose), from the leaves, where they are produced, to other parts of the plant for energy and growth. This process is known as translocation and is a crucial part of the plant's vascular system, which also includes xylem responsible for the transport of water and minerals.
