Question

The process of transport of water along with minerals from the roots to the parts of plant.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mechanism of transport of water and minerals in a plant

Water containing minerals gets into the root hair and passes from cell to cell through the process of osmosis and reaches epidermis, root cortex, endodermis and root xylem. Xylem vessels of the root are connected with the xylem vessel of the stem of a plant.

Explanation:

Plants must transport water from the roots to the leaves where it is needed for the process of photosynthesis. Nutrients produced in the leaves by photosynthesis are transported to all the parts of the plant. The phloem carries nutrients up and down the plant. The xylem only carries water up the plant.
