What do you mean by ‘translocation’ with respect to transport in plants?

Solution
Transport of food from leaves to other parts of the plants is called Translocation. Food molecules enter the phloem cells from mesophyll cells of leaf. Once within the phloem , they can be transported upwards or downwards to all parts of the plants including roots. Food is transported in a dilute aqueous solution.
