Correct Answer: B সঠিক উত্তর: B

Explanation ব্যাখ্যা

Phloem transports food in plants in both directions.
Bidirectional movement:
Unlike xylem, which only transports water and minerals upwards, phloem can move food (sugars, amino acids) from the leaves to storage organs (roots, stems) during the growing season, and then back from storage organs to growing parts of the plant when needed. This bidirectional movement is crucial for meeting the changing nutritional needs of the plant throughout its life cycle.
