Phloem

9.

The picture shows phloem in a tree stump. In vascular plants, phloem is the living tissue that carries organic nutrients, to all parts of the plant where needed. In trees, the phloem is the innermost layer of the bark. The phloem is concerned mainly with the transport of soluble organic material made during photosynthesis.
