Question

Carries water and other nutrients ftom the roots to the restof the plant

Answer 1

Roots have numerous root hairs that increase the surface area for the absorption of water and minerals. These root hairs are in contact with the water present in the soil. Water enters the cells of the root hair by the process of osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. Hence, they perform the function of absorption.

Answer 2

The vascular tissue for the transport of water and nutrients in the plant is called the xylem. The xylem forms a continuous network of channels that connects roots to the leaves through the stem and branches and thus transports water to the entire plant.
