HOW ARE WATER AND MINERALS TRANSPORTED IN PLANTS??

Dear Student,

Roots of plants help in absorbtion of water and minerals from the soil. After absorbtion by roots, water and minerals are transported upward to other parts of plants through tube-like vessels. These vessels are made up of special type of cells and are known as the vascular tissues. The vascular tissue that transports water and minerals in plants is known as the xylem. It forms a network of channels that connects the root to the stem and the leaves of the plant.

Hence, water and minerals are transported to various plant parts.
