Life Science: Xylem and Phloem

The video explains the roles of xylem and phloem cells in plants. Xylem cells transport water and minerals from the roots to other parts of the plant, while phloem cells distribute glucose to provide energy for growth and reproduction. If the plant does not need the sugar immediately, it converts it into starch for long-term storage in the roots.

What happens to the sugar produced by plants if it is not needed immediately?

Where is starch stored in plants for long-term use?
