Crude sap originates in the roots of a plant as a water-based solution containing various minerals from the soil. Many organic compounds, including sugars, are added to the solution through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a natural chemical process caused by sunlight and the absorption of carbon dioxide through the leaves.
Depending on the specific minerals and compounds in the sap, it may or may not stain other materials. Sugar maple sap, for example, is mostly water and can be rinsed out of most materials.
