Phloem : A layer of tree tissue just inside the bark that conducts food from the leaves to the stem and roots. See Cambium.

Phloem - The phloem is the portion of the vascular system in plants, consisting of living cells arranged into elongated tubes, that transports sugar and other organic nutrients throughout the plant.

Under the bark of trees (dicotyledonous ones) there is a layer of cells called the phloem. This tissue transports carbohydrates and other photosynthates (including auxin) down from the leaves to the lower parts of the plant.

the bark, cambium, and phloem. This prevents carbohydrates and
photosynthates from flowing down the trunk, past the removal site, but still
allows water and mineral nutrients to flow upward to the leaves through the
xylem.

Outside the cambium layer is the phloem, this is responsible for distributing the sugars produced in the leaves back down to other parts of the tree.

Each hydraulic pathway, cambial lifeline, or xylem and phloem conduit system, is sectored-completely divided from the rest of the plant. From a practical viewpoint, this means that each major root supplies one side of the tree or one major branch.

The wire was wrapped too tight; the branches bent too far; the cambium and phloem layers too damaged, as the tree's branches were carefully bent into shapes that would impart the right impression to the credulous crowd.

cambium - The layer of tissue between the xylem and phloem, where new wood is formed.

It is located in a vascular bundle between the xylem and the phloem. Tsugiki grafting occurs when cambiums of daiki (stock used for grafting) and hogi (daiki-grafting branches) conjugate.

The concoction of organic molecules and even some even messenger RNAs are transported by the phloem through a series of sieve tube elements from leaf tips back to stems, branch, trunk and roots which use the sap concoction to build mass and grow.
