Translocation in plants takes place in the phloem tissue.

Quick Scoop

  • Translocation is the movement of food (like sucrose) from where it is made to where it is needed or stored in the plant.
  • This process happens in phloem, which is made of living cells arranged in tubes running through the plant.
  • The phloem carries sugars and other organic substances from sources (often leaves) to sinks (roots, fruits, young leaves, etc.).
