Hi dear....
Here is ur ans....
Actually, nutrients are very imp for our body...as they are necessary for our regular processes....minerals are imp for development and growth of our body....!!
Now the ques is how food is transported in plants...??
Here is ur ans....
No heart, no blood and no circulation, but plants do need a transport system to move food, water and minerals around. They use two different systems – xylem moves water and solutes from the roots to the leaves – phloem moves food substances from leaves to the rest of the plant. Both of these systems are rows of cells that make continuous tubes running the full length of the plant.
Xylem
Xylem cells have extra reinforcement in their cell walls, and this helps to support the weight of the plant. For this reason, the transport systems are arranged differently in root and stem – in the root it has to resist forces that could pull the plant out of the ground. In the stem it has to resist compression and bending forces caused by the weight of the plant and the wind
Hope it hlps u....
Have a good day dear

Minerals and nutrition must be regularly transported in an organism as these are essential for the growth and development of all types of organisms.
EXPLANATION:
Nutrients of all types are required by the various cells and tissues of the body so that they can perform their function in the right manner.
Plants use a transport system to move 'food', 'water' and 'minerals'. The xylem and phloem are used to transport water, minerals and nutrients. Xylem is used to move 'water' and 'minerals' from roots to the 'leaves' 'Phloem' moves food from leaves to the 'other parts of the plants'.
