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

E.g. the roots can't perform photosynthesis to get the sugars it needs because they aren't exposed to light, but they still need energy to function and without sugar transport by the phloem they would not get this so areas of the plant would die
