Detailed explanation-1: -The phloem and xylem are the main tissues responsible for this movement. Water potential, evapotranspiration, and stomatal regulation influence how water and nutrients are transported in plants.
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: -Final Answer: Roots absorb water and minerals from the soil.
Detailed explanation-4: -Water is passively transported into the roots and then into the xylem. The forces of cohesion and adhesion cause the water molecules to form a column in the xylem. Water moves from the xylem into the mesophyll cells, evaporates from their surfaces and leaves the plant by diffusion through the stomata.
Detailed explanation-5: -Final answer: Roots are the part of plants that absorb water and minerals from the soil.
