This statement is incorrect as axons can transport material both from the cell body to the axon terminal and from the axon terminal to the cell body. This process is called axonal transport and involves both anterograde (from cell body to axon terminal) and retrograde (from axon terminal to cell body) transport of materials such as proteins and organelles.
