Oh, phloem. For that matter...oh, conducting tissue. If you have pets named Torus and Margo, then you totally know what I'm talking about. So, please don't say "floam." It's vile. And get it straight: sieve tube, sieve plate, sieve area, sieve pore. Get to know the phloem. Here is a visual aide for you. You say you like plants? Prove it!
