Water keeps the plant living! It's like petrol to a car or food for humans. They need it as much as us.

Water is needed by plants for a number of reasons...


- To photosynthesise (make their own food using sunlight, carbon dioxide & water)

- To use a means for transporting mineral ions around the plant

- For turgidity (to make sure that the plant doesn't wilt - water makes plant cells firm)

- Water evaporates from plant leaves which could help to cool the plant


98% of water taken up by a plant is transpired to the atmosphere!
