Think of tree sap as if it were like the blood that runs through your body. It is a fluid, varying in density depending on the type of tree/plant that carries nutrients and and water from the roots of the tree/plant to other parts of the tree/plant. It runs in all directions, just as blood in you would.

Sap is the fluid carried in tubules inside a plant, circulating to distribute food and water to various parts of the plant.
Gummosis is the formation of patches of a gummy substance on the surface of certain plants, particularly trees. This occurs when sap (technically a latex) oozes from wounds or cankers as a reaction to outside stimuli such as adverse weather conditions, infections, insect attacks, or other mechanical damage. In many species, the sticky nature of sap has the effect of plugging wounds and thus detering attacks by insects, bacteria and fungi.

IT'S SIMILAR TO BLOOD FOR A TREE, IT CIRCULATES THROUGHOUT THE TREE AND SUPPLIES NUTRIENTS AND WATER FOR GROWTH. WHEN YOU TAP INTO MAPLE TREES IT DRIPS INTO A BUCKET AND IS MADE INTO GREAT PANCAKE SYRUP.
