a) it is to transport from the leave to the rest of the plant.
b) the upper part of the cut stem will be swollen.
c) it is because the manufactured food has to be transported by the phloem from the leave to the root but since the route is cut off, manufactured food will build up at the upper part of the cut stem
Hope it helps!
