To solve this problem, we need to understand the purpose of the "Girdling Experiment" in plant physiology.The girdling experiment involves removing a ring of bark from a tree, which includes the phloem but leaves the xylem intact.Phloem is responsible for the transport of food (mainly sugars) from the leaves to other parts of the plant.Xylem, on the other hand, is responsible for the transport of water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.By removing the phloem, the downward movement of food is interrupted, while water transport through the xylem continues.This experiment demonstrates that food is transported through the phloem.Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2: Food is transported.
