Translocation refers to the transport of the soluble products formed due to photosynthesis to different parts of the plant. 

Whereas, transport in plants refers to the transport of water and minerals to different parts of plant.

 It is essential for plants because this process helps all parts of plant to receive the synthesised food, water and minerals and is essential for the survival of plant.

(i) Sugar is synthesised in leaves of the plant. 

(ii) Hormones: There are various hormones secreted by plants. Therefore, there are various parts of plants which are associated with hormone synthesis like- Root tips, stems, young fruits, ripe fruits etc.
