Question

How do water and minerals absorbed by roots reach the leaves?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Water and minerals are transported to the leaves by the vessels which run like pipes throughout the root, stem, branches and the leaves. They form a continuous path or passage for the nutrients to reach the leaf.

Answer 2

Water is absorbed from the soil into the roots of a plant. However, to reach the leaves where photosynthesis takes place, water must move upward to the top of the plant. Water travels through long, thin tubes running up from the roots through the stems and leaves called xylem.
