EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -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: -Stems carry water and nutrients taken up by the roots to the leaves. Then the food produced by the leaves moves to other parts of the plant. The cells that do this work are called the xylem cells. They move water.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Continuous transpiration occurring in all of the leaves of a plant creates a negative pressure in the water column (xylem). This exerts an upward pull on the water column, called transpiration pull. And thus, the water present in the xylem column transports up to the tip of the stem, leaves, etc.

Detailed explanation-5: -After traveling from the roots to stems through the xylem, water enters leaves via petiole (i.e., the leaf stalk) xylem that branches off from that in the stem.
