Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Plants absorb nutrients and water through their roots, but photosynthesis-the process by which plants create their fuel-occurs in the leaves. Therefore, plants need to get fluids and nutrients from the ground up through their stems to their parts that are above ground level. Was this answer helpful?
Detailed explanation-2: -Nutrients move in all directions. These nutrients are transported via xylem and phloem. Deficiency symptoms appear first in older leaves, and if the deficiency is not corrected, they show up in new growth. Mobile nutrients include Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), Magnesium (Mg), and Sulfur (S).
