- Companion cells.
- Phloem parenchyma.
- Phloem fibres.
Functions are:
-
Sieve tubes: It conduct food materials prepared in the leaves and greener young stems to all parts of plants.
-
Companion cells: It helps sieve tubes in conduction of food materials.
-
Pholem parenchyma: It helps to store food.
-
Pholem fibres: It provide mechanical strength to plants.
