There are Two Reasons :-
First Reason :-

The function of roots is to absorb the water and minerals from the soil.

The xylem transports water from roots to all parts of plants including leaves.

As leaves don't get water and minerals, they, soon wilt.

Second Reason is loss of Turgor Pressure:-

Due to loss of Turgor Pressure, the water in the plant cells moves outwards and the roots can't absorb water.

Because of these reasons, the leaves soon wilt as you uproot the plant.

Hope it helps.

The root only transports water and minerals to the leaves.

Explanation:

  • The root absorbs the water and minerals from the soil. The xylem routes water from roots to all parts of plants including leaves. If leaves don't get water and minerals, they wilt soon.  
  • Also, due to loss of Turgor Pressure, the water in the plant cells moves outwards and the roots can't absorb water. The necessary inputs for the leaves will be discontinued. These reasons will make the leaves wilt soon as you uproot the plant.
