2⃣PHOTOSYNTHESIS: Water is used as a raw material in the synthesis of glucose.

3⃣MECHANICAL FUNCTION: Water provides tirgidity, which is necessary for the stiffness of plant tissues.

4⃣TRANSPIRATION: A large quantity of water is passed out as vapour during transpiration.

5⃣MAINTAINING PLANT'S TEMPERATURE: Plants can absorb radiation without any increases in temperature because water has a high specific heat.

6⃣STOMATAL MOVEMENT: Water in guard cells. controls the opening and closing and closing of stomata.

7⃣MINERALS: Act as builidinb blocks for many compounds synthesized by plants.
