Once sugars have been actively transported into the phloem, water enters the phloem through osmosis, creating a higher pressure at the source and a lower pressure at the sink. This pressure gradient drives the flow of sugars throughout the plant. There is no diffusion involved, and active transport of water is not needed since the movement of water is driven by osmosis.
