Plants get food through translocation. Translocation is the movement of materials from leaves to other parts of the plant. When photosynthesis occurs, plants produce sugars in their leaves which becomes a sources for other parts other plant such as the roots, flowers, fruits, stems, and other developing leaves. The phloem moves nutrients throughout the plant. It is made of long, continuous strands called vascular bindles while extend through the roots and stem and reach into the leaves as veins.
