Food Delivery

Roots help with the delivery of nutrients.

Translocation: Is the transfer of soluble materials through sieve tubes of the phloem of vascular plants.  An example is when a plant produces sucrose it uses translocation to distribute it throughout the plant.

Phloem: It is the food-conducting tissue of plants. Vascular plant tissue consisting of living cells arranged into elongates tubes that transport sugar and other organic nutrients throughout the plant.
