Phloem are like the Xylem but instead of transfering water and disolved minerals they move sugars, starches and other types of food through the plants to where it is needed to go. Sap that drips from trees usually comes from the phloem. In trees the phloem is the innermost part of the bark, and in maple trees the phloem can help transfer sugars and things so that syrup can be collected from maple trees. This is why i took a picture of the maple syrup bottle.
