Phloem translocates the products of photosynthesis from leaves to the area of growth and storage, in the following directions,
Downward direction: From leaves to stem and roots.
Upward direction: From leaves to developing buds, flowers, fruits for consumption and storage. Germination of seeds is also a good example of upward translocation.
Radial direction: From cells of the pith to cortex and epidermis, the food materials are radially translocated.
