How does root take water and mineral ?What is special features
Answers
Answer:
Plants do not have a heart, blood or a circulation system, but they do need a transport system to move food, water and minerals around.
They use two different systems - xylem moves water and mineral ions from the roots to the leaves - phloem moves food substances such as sucrose (sugar) and amino acids from leaves to the rest of the plant. This movement of food is called translocation. Both of these systems contain cells that make continuous tubes running the full length of the plant from the roots, up the stem and through the leaves. They are like blood vessels for the plant.
