👉 Tree fluid, also known as phloem sap, is a specialized transport medium found in the vascular tissues of plants, particularly within the phloem. It serves as a crucial mechanism for nutrient distribution, moving sugars and other organic compounds synthesized during photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts of the plant, such as roots, stems, and developing fruits. This sap is rich in sugars like sucrose, along with amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, facilitating the plant's growth, development, and overall metabolic activities. The movement of tree fluid is driven by a pressure gradient known as the translocation stream, which results from the active loading of sugars into the phloem sieve tubes at the source (usually leaves) and their subsequent unloading in the sink tissues (such as roots or fruits), ensuring efficient nutrient distribution throughout the plant.
