👉 Phloems are a type of vascular tissue in plants, which is responsible for supporting and maintaining the structure and function of the plant's leaves. They are made up of specialized cells called xylem cells that grow from the roots to the sapwood. These cells contain specialized enzymes that help break down cellulose, a complex carbohydrate found in wood fibers, into simpler sugars, allowing the plant to produce energy through photosynthesis. Phloems also contribute to the structural support of the plant by providing
