Phloem is the food conducting tissue that has a two-way flow.

Explanation:

Plants prepare food on their own and plants also have conductive cells that carry out transportation process. Plants are divided into two types based on their conductive system i.) vascular plants ii.) non vascular plants.

Vascular plants are those plants which have special conductive cells called phloem and xylem.

Xylem transports water from roots of the plants to other parts of plants and also provides mechanical support to plant. It is uni-directional.

Phloem is the food conducting tissue that transports food to plant and also have bi-directional movement.

How are Earth’s organisms and crust interdependent?

sattari [20]

The Lithosphere contains all of the cold, hard, solid rock of the planet's crust, the hot semi-solid rock below the crust, the hot liquid rock near the center of the planet, and the solid iron core. The biosphere is the sphere that contains all of the Earth's living organisms. The organisms and crust interact through events between spheres, such as natural events like floods, shifts in the Earth's crust. Some event as such could create soil erosion resulting in decreased vegetation and increase death of organisms. <span>
