Phloem

Meristematic cells are special cells that have the capacity for continuous division. Lateral meristem helps to increase the girth of the stem and is mostly present in dicot plants. Whereas, apical meristem helps to increase the length of root and stem and intercalary meristem helps to increase the length of the stem mostly present on the nodes of monocot plants. Phloem is the tissue in plants that conduct food made in the leaves to all other parts of the plant.
