Detailed explanation-1: -The white petals change colour because of something called the transpiration stream. Transpiration is the movement of water up the stem of a plant from root to leaf when water is lost from the plant due to evaporation and diffusion of water from a plant’s surface.
Detailed explanation-2: -A leaf is the green, flat lateral outgrowth in plants. They come in different shapes, sizes, and colors, and are generally dorso-ventrally flattened and thin. They are the main organ responsible for photosynthesis as they contain chlorophyll.
Detailed explanation-3: -The experiment which shows that food is transported through the phloem is Girdling experiment. In this experiment, the phloem tissue is removed, which results in the disturbance and blockage of the upward and downward movement.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer : Transpiration; Water moves from the roots only upwards but food moves from the leaves upwards as well as downwards.
