Vascular plants have two different types of specialized tissues that transport food, water, and nutrients to the various plant structures. what would be the effect on a vascular plant if the phloem became damaged?

the plant would be fine because the phloem is more of a support structure than avascular tissue.
the plant would be fine since the xylem would take over for the injured phloem.
the plant would most likely die because it couldn’t get water to the leaves.
the plant would most likely die because it could not get glucose to the growing parts of the plants.
