This is a picture of a tree stump. This tree stump shows an example of phloem. Phloem is the tissue of a plant that transports water throughout it. The phloem of a tree would be it's trunk. The trunk allows sugar and water to be brought from photosynthetic leaves to areas which aren't photosynthetic. This restores the plants energy an hydration, allowing it to continue to photosynthesis and grow. The trunk is the phloem of a tree, just like the stem is the phloem of a flower.
