Phloem
In vascular plants, phloem is the tissue that carries organic nutrients, particularly sucrose. In trees, the phloem is part of the bark, hence the name, derived from the Greek word for "bark". See also xylem.

Cambium
During the growing season, mitosis in this band of meristematic tissue produces new phloem to the outside and new xylem to the inside.

Ramie is a bast fiber, and the part used is the bark (phloem) of the vegetative stalks. Unlike other bast crops, ramie requires chemical processing to de-gum the fiber.
