DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Xylem vessels carry water and minerals from the roots to the leaves. Phloem tubes carry sugar & other organic nutrients made by the plant from the leaves to the rest of the plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -Water Transport from Roots to Shoots The structure of plant roots, stems, and leaves facilitates the transport of water, nutrients, and photosynthates throughout the plant. The phloem and xylem are the main tissues responsible for this movement.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant stems have some very special cells called xylem. These cells form long thin tubes that run from the roots up the stems to the leaves. Their job is to carry water upward from the roots to every part of a plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -The xylem transports water and minerals from the roots up the plant stem and into the leaves. In a mature flowering plant or tree, most of the cells that make up the xylem are specialised cells called vessels. Vessels: Lose their end walls so the xylem forms a continuous, hollow tube.

Detailed explanation-5: -The water is pulled up through the xylem via osmosis so that the vessel is filled with an uninterrupted column of water. This column will make its way up through the xylem until it evaporates from the mesophyll cell’s walls. The water then diffuses from air sacs in the leaf, through open stoma.
