how are water and minerals transported to the plant
Answers
In plants, minerals and water are transported through the xylem cells from soil to the leaves. The xylem cells of the stem, roots, and leaves are interconnected forming a conducting channel reaching all plant parts. ... Osmosis causes osmotic pressure hence water and minerals are transported from one to another cell.
In plants water and minerals are transported to the plants parts by the vascular tissue named as xylem,,works the process of osmosis through using the osmotic pressure created wihhin them..It's (xylem tissues) are unidirectional in transportation...it consists of tracheids, vessels , xylem fibre and xylem parenchyma...which works in coordination to control the movement of water and mineral across the plant.
