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

distribution of carbohydrates from the leaves to the other parts of the plant is affected.

distribution of water and nutrients from the roots to the other parts of the plants is affected.

distribution of water and nutrients to the flowers affects seed formation
