👉 Leaf fluid, also known as sap, is a vital component of the plant's vascular system, primarily found in the xylem and phloem. It is a transparent, colorless liquid that transports essential nutrients, sugars, hormones, and other substances throughout the plant. Produced in the leaves through photosynthesis, leaf fluid moves upward via the xylem, where it is pulled by transpiration and gravity, and then travels through the phloem to distribute nutrients to various parts of the plant, including roots, stems, and developing seeds. This fluid plays a crucial role in sustaining the plant's growth and overall health by ensuring that all cells receive the necessary resources for metabolic processes.
