Unlike xylem (which is composed primarily of dead cells), the phloem is composed of still-living cells that transport sap. The sap is a water-based solution, but rich in sugars made by the photosynthetic areas. These sugars are transported to non-photosynthetic parts of the plant, such as the roots, or into storage structures, such as tubers or bulbs.
In vascular plants, phloem is the living tissue that carries organic nutrients (known as photosynthate), particularly sucrose, a sugar, to all parts of the plant where needed. In trees, the phloem is the innermost layer of the bark, hence the name, derived from the Greek word φλόος (phloos) "bark". The phloem is concerned mainly with the transport of soluble organic material made during photosynthesis. This is called translocation.
carries/transports nutrients throughout plant
The phloem in a plant helps brings nutrients to different parts of the plant. This is called translocation.
its a vessel that transports food to parts of the plant
It is actually translocation. It translocate food as sucrose
Phloem takes the plant food from the leaves and takes it to other parts of the plant
Phloem: tubes that usually move sap, with dissolved sucrose, produced by photosynthesis in the leaf, out of the leaf and to other parts of the plant.
The parenchyma cells in between the sieve tubes of the phloem, and functions primarily for food storage.
The cambium is the layer of actively dividing cells between the xylem and phloem tissues of plants. It is responsible for the secondary growth of plants.
The function of the bast a strong woody fiber obtained chiefly from phloem of plants
it helps for the transport of water from one part of the plant to the other
In a plant, Phloem tissue carries photosynthesis products (sugars e.g. sucrose) from leaves to roots, growing tissue and fruits. But not minerals (these are carried from the roots to the leaves by the Xylem).
the xylem transports water and the phloem transports organic substances.
The parenchyma cells in between the sieve tubes of the phloem, and functions primarily for food storage.
Phloem provides a passage for the downward movement of the food manufactured in leaves to various parts of the plant.

The cambium is the layer of actively dividing cells between the xylem and phloem tissues of plants. It is responsible for the secondary growth of plants.
The xylem generally transports water throughout the plant (and some nutrients) while the phloem transports soluble organic material made during photosynthesis.
There is structural difference between xylem and phloem. This is because their function is also different. Had there been no difference in structure, how these could have performed different function?
transports sugar down from the leaves
produces xylem and phloem
The function of the bast a strong woody fiber obtained chiefly from phloem of plants
They are made up of xylem and phloem. The xylem's primary function is to transport water, while the phloem transports nutrients.
