164 - What’s the difference between tree sap and tree pitch?
There’s a lot of different fluids that flow through your body, and it’s the same with plants. Pine trees have sap which is a mixture of water and minerals that come up from its roots through the xylem tubes, as well as sugar that comes down from the leaves through their phloem tubes.
Pine pitch, on the other hand, is a sticky substance that a pine tree produces when a wound is formed. It is a defense mechanism that wards of bugs and critters like bark beetles and termites!
Science is so amazing!
