===Meaning===
'''Phloem tissue''' is a [[tissue]] used to transport [[sugar]]s around a [[plant]].

===About Phloem Tissue===
: '''Phloem tissue''' transports [[sugar]]s in the [[leaf|leaves]], made by [[photosynthesis]], to other [[organ]]s in the [[plant]].
: '''Phloem tissue''' is found next to the [[Xylem Tissue|xylem tissue]] and together they make a [[Plant Vein|plant vein]].
: The process of [[sugar]] transport around the [[plant]] is known as [[translocation]].
: '''Phloem tissue''' is formed by [[Phloem Cell|phloem cells]] connecting the [[Permanent Vacuole|vacuoles]] of one [[Phloem Cell|phloem cell]] to the next. The [[Cell Wall|cell wall]] between each [[Phloem Cell|phloem cell]] has small holes in it and is known as a [[Sieve Plate|sieve plate]]. The [[Phloem Cell|phloem cell]] lose many of their [[organelle]]s, including [[mitochondria]] so they are supported by [[Companion Cell (Plant)|companion cells which keep them [[Alive|alive]].
