|
|
it goes into the stomata
|
|
|
The roots absorb it and then it travels up the xylem(stem)
|
|
|
it is made during a chemical reaction in the stem
|
|
|
The flowers capture water and deliver it to the leaves

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. The process by which water evaporates from the leaves and draws more water from the roots is called ‘transpiration’.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Movement of water into roots Water can get into xylem vessels by two routes-the symplast pathway and the apoplast pathway. If water travels via the symplast pathway then it travels from cell to cell through the cytoplasm. Neighbouring cells are connected by small channels in the cell walls called plasmodesmata.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-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.
