Question 4:
How are water and minerals transported in plants?
Answer
The components of xylem tissue (tracheids and vessels) of roots, stems, and leaves
are interconnected to form a continuous system of water-conducting channels that
reaches all parts of the plant. Transpiration creates a suction pressure, as a result
of which water is forced into the xylem cells of the roots. Then there is a steady
movement of water from the root xylem to all the plant parts through the
interconnected water-conducting channels.
