Brief Explanations
In plant biology, a "source" is a tissue that produces and exports organic nutrients (like sugars from photosynthesis). Mature leaves perform photosynthesis to make these nutrients, so they act as the source once they develop. The carrot root is a storage sink, not a source when leaves are active.
