The experiment shows a plant in which the outer part of the stem containing phloem was removed while the xylem was kept intact. The setup was kept in the sun for a week and watered regularly. On the eighth day, the leaves appeared turgid and the upper part of the stem above the cut in the phloem appeared swollen. What could be the reason for this?
A.) stem growth
B.) root growth
c.) food accumulation

Answer:

Explanation:

C) food accumulation

Phloem transports food from the leaves to other parts of the plant, and xylem tissue transports water and minerals absorbed by the roots. When phloem tissue is removed from a part of the stem, the food is not able to reach the lower part of the plant, causing the food to accumulate near the part of the plant where phloem was removed. This causes that portion to appear swollen.
