$2$. Companion cells: These are specialized parenchyma cells that assist the sieve tubes in their functions.
$3$. Phloem parenchyma: These are living cells that store food and provide structural support.
$4$. Phloem fibres: These are dead,thick-walled sclerenchyma cells that provide mechanical strength to the plant.
