Removal of phloem tissue leads to gradual death of the plant. why does this happen?

distribution of carbohydrates from the leaves to the other parts of the plant is affected.

distribution of water and nutrients from the roots to the other parts of the plants is affected.

distribution of water and nutrients to the flowers affects seed formation

Distribution of carbohydrates from the leaves to the other parts of the plant is affected.

The main function of the Xylem is to transport water and minerals throughout all parts of the plant. Phloem on the other hand is responsible for transporting organic molecules that are larger in size. The vascular system, consisting on the Xylem and the Phloem runs from the roots of the plats through the branches and upto the leaves. It controls the total transportation of the water and nutrients.

Very minute and important evidence needs to be collected in order together detail and figure out what had happened
