Most plants secure the water and minerals they need from their roots.
The path taken is: soil -> roots -> stems -> leaves
The minerals (e.g., K+, Ca2+) travel dissolved in the water (often accompanied by various organic molecules supplied by root cells).
Less than 1% of the water reaching the leaves is used in photosynthesis and plant growth. Most of it is lost in transpiration.
However, transpiration does serve two useful functions:
It provides the force for lifting the water up the stems.
