    Phloem
    In vascular plants, `phloem` is the living tissue that carries organic nutrients, 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 Ã?†Î»Î¿Î¹Î¿Ã?‚ (`phloios`) for `bark`. The phloem is mainly concerned with the transport of glucose and starch made during photosynthesis.
