bundle of pine leaf showing xylem and phloem</figcaption></figure> <p>A <b>vascular bundle</b> is a part of the transport system in <a href="/wiki/Vascular_plant" title="Vascular plant">vascular plants</a>. The transport itself happens in the <a href="/wiki/Plant_stem" title="Plant stem">stem</a>, which exists in two forms: <a href="/wiki/Xylem" title="Xylem">xylem</a> and <a href="/wiki/Phloem" title="Phloem">phloem</a>. Both these tissues are present in a vascular bundle, which in addition will include supporting and protective tissues. There is also a tissue between xylem and phloem, which is the <a href="/wiki/Cambium" title="Cambium">cambium</a>. </p><p>The xylem typically lies towards the axis (<a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/adaxial" class="extiw" title="wiktionary:adaxial">adaxial</a>) with phloem positioned away from the axis (<a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/abaxial" class="extiw" title="wiktionary:abaxial">abaxial</a>). In a stem or root this means that the xylem is closer to the centre of the stem or root while the phloem is closer to the exterior. In a leaf, the adaxial surface of the leaf will usually be the upper side, with the abaxial surface the lower side. </p><p>The sugars synthesized by the plant with sun light are transported by the phloem, which is closer to the lower surface. <a href="/wiki/Aphids" class="mw-redirect" title="Aphids">Aphids</a> and <a href="/wiki/Leaf_hopper" class="mw-redirect" title="Leaf hopper">leaf hoppers</a> feed off of these sugars by tapping into the phloem. This is why aphids and leaf hoppers are typically found on the underside of a leaf rather than on the top. The position of vascular bundles relative to each other may vary considerably: see <a href="/wiki/Stele_(biology)" title="Stele (biology)">stele</a>.
