Plants have tiny root hairs covering the end of each of the roots. This root hairs are single cells and grows in the spaces between the grains of soils. The cell walls and the cell membranes of this root hairs serves as the passage way of the waters and minerals.

Waters and minerals from the soils will enter inside the plant through this cells.

As the water get in, it will go the upper part of the roots and then to every part of the plant.

The water, food and minerals are carried by the strings and the veins. Other kind of tube called Phloem also carries sugar from the leaves to different parts of the plant.

This kinds of tubes is present in most of all the green plants.

Because of the process called Capillary Action, the water moves up from the plant’s roots.

During transpiration, the plant loses water. The water pass through tiny openings under the leaves called the Stomata.
