If all the xylem and phloem were not destroyed parts of the plant may survive but others would die, but eventually the whole plant would die because of lack of nutrients. If the xylem and phloem were all destroyed when the plant would die as it would receive no water or nutrients it needs.

What will happen to the plant if it does not have the phloem tube?
Then the pollen would not be able to reach the ovule therefore it will not be able to make a seed
What would happen if a plant's phloem does not work correctly?
If a plant's phloem does not work correctly, it would not be able to efficiently transport sugars, nutrients, and other essential molecules from the leaves to other parts of the plant. This could result in stunted growth, wilting, and overall poor health of the plant.
What would happen to a plant if the xylem tubes but not the phloem tubes in its stem were cut?
The plant would wilt and die as it would not be able to receive water from the roots. For this reason cut flowers are placed in water to extend their life. If a vascular plant is subjected to cut its phloem in the stem region (leaving its xylem tissue intact), this plant will die of starvation because transportation of water and menerals is done by xylem and phloem transports the prepared food material to different plant parts. In a situation where phloem is dis-connected to the roots, the food supply to the roots will be stopped. Thus roots in the absence of nourishment will not be able to absorb water and minerals and the plant will die ultimately.
What would happen to a plant without functional phloem cells?
The plant would wilt and die as it would not be able to receive water from the roots. For this reason cut flowers are placed in water to extend their life. If a vascular plant is subjected to cut its phloem in the stem region (leaving its xylem tissue intact), this plant will die of starvation because transportation of water and menerals is done by xylem and phloem transports the prepared food material to different plant parts.

Thus roots in the absence of nourishment will not be able to absorb water and minerals and the plant will die ultimately.
What pathway would toxins travel first in a plant?
phloem
What would a plant be unable to do without a phloem?
Distribute the products of photosynthesis around the plant
What part of the plant carries sugar from the leafs to the rest of the plants parts?
It is the phloem. The stem connects all the plant parts. And in the stem are two kinds of tubes: the xylem and the phloem. The xylem transports water and mineral salts from the roots to the rest of the plant. The phloem transports food from the leaves to the rest of the plant. Sugar is considered to be food for plants and therefore the answer is the phloem. If you need not specific details, the stem would be an okay answer.
What would happen if the position of the xylem and phloem were reversed in a persimmon tree?
Depends on your plant and its size. In dicots, the xylem in the interior of the stem becomes "heartwood" as the plant gets bigger, and in this state helps hold up the tree. Reversing xylem and phloem in this situation would give you a plant without heartwood and therefore not able to grow to a large size. In monocots, no problem. Monocots have "vascular bundles" which have both xylem and phloem; these occur throughout the stem.
In a cold winter the phloem cells are damagedhow would the role of phloem be affected in this type of weather?
Damaged phloem cells can disrupt the transport of sugars and other essential nutrients within the plant. This can lead to reduced growth, weakened immune response, and overall decreased health of the plant. In severe cases, it can even result in plant death due to lack of nutrient distribution.
Which pathway would the toxins most likely travel along first inside the plant?
phloem
Which pathway would the toxins most likely travel along when first inside the plant?
phloem
What substance would you expect to find in phloem but not in xylem?
Sugars, amino acids, and hormones are substances typically found in phloem sap but not in xylem sap. These substances are transported in the phloem to various parts of the plant for growth and energy production.
