Detailed explanation-1: -Xylem transports water, minerals, and nutrients from the soil to all the plant parts. There are two types of “transport” tissues in plants-xylem and phloem. Water and solutes are transported by the xylem from the roots to the leaves, and food is transported from the leaves to the rest of the plant by the phloem.

Detailed explanation-2: -Xylem transports water in plants. Water is absorbed from the soil through root hair cells. Water moves by osmosis from root cell to root cell until it reaches the xylem. It is transported through the xylem vessels up the stem to the leaves.

Detailed explanation-3: -The water is absorbed by the root hair and undergoes cell to cell movement by osmosis until it reaches the xylem. This water is then transported through the xylem vessels to the leaves and is evaporated by the process of transpiration. The xylem is also composed of elongated cells like the phloem.

Detailed explanation-4: -XYLEM. Water travels from a tree’s roots to its canopy by way of this conductive tissue. There are many different processes occuring within trees that allow them to grow. One is the movement of water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves in the canopy, or upper branches.

Detailed explanation-5: -The plants absorb water from the soil with the help of root hair through osmosis. The diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane is called osmosis. Root hair absorbs water from soil through osmosis. Water will be absorbed by root hairs by osmosis as the environment in the soil is hypotonic.
