Answer:

The movement of water in celery is an example of capillary action. Capillary action is important in both plants and humans.

In plants, water moves up from the roots through the stem and into the branches and leaves. When water moves through the stem, it contains nutrients and minerals the plant needs to survive. The movement of water allows various areas of the plant to receive these nutrients and minerals.

In humans, capillary action is seen through blood vessels. Similar to roots in plants, blood moves through the blood vessels that contain oxygen, nutrients, carbon dioxide, and waste products. The transport of blood with its nutrients is how the rest of the human body receives these nutrients.

Here you will observe water moving up a plant using a stalk of celery. The water will be filled with food coloring to easily visualize the movement of water within the celery. After a few hours, the color from the water should be seen at one end of the celery stalk.

Water is constantly being absorbed by the roots due to the negative water potential in the root cells. This movement of water into the roots can cause the water pressure inside the roots to become high, resulting in a force that 'pushes' water up the stem xylem.
