water and dissolved mineral salts enter the root hairs from the soil.then the water travels up through xylem vessels in the roots,stem,leaves

When you water a plant with salt water what does it have on the plant?
Watering a plant with salt water can have harmful effects on the plant. The high salt content in the water can disrupt the plant's ability to take up essential nutrients and water through its roots. This can lead to dehydration, nutrient deficiencies, and eventually plant death.
What plant does salt come from?
yes, salt is a part of mineral's, from soil.
How does a plant get a supply of mineral salt?
Plants absorb mineral salts from soils and waters.
Does salt water affect the growth of plants?
Salt affects the growth of many plants, but not all. The higher concentration of salt outside of the plant cells in the soil causes water to move outside of the cells to try and equalize the concentration. Some root cells of plants that do not tolerate salt may die, and if bad enough the plant will die. The damage gives the plant a burnt look, often on the leaf edges first. The same thing happens with too much of any mineral. Some types of plants, such as mangrove trees, can tolerate higher levels of salt and not be damaged. Their cells have a high concentration of salt already in them so the water doesn't move out. Some even separate salt from the water and excrete it through their leaves, roots, and branches. The most common Herbicides are salt based glyphosate products. Using salt water to fight forest fires does large amounts of damage to plants, particularly in Australia where fire is an important part of native plant regeneration.
Could salt water stop plant growth?
the salt draws water from the plants causing eventual death of the plant.
Why do you think that salt will kill a plant?
Salt will suck the moisture out of the plant roots, and the upper part of the plant cannot get enough water, so it dies.
Which plant has clasping roots?
Clasping roots are mainly found in plants called epiphytes. (parasitic plants). Epiphytes grow on top of other plnats and therefore they have no roots underground. Their roots perform the function of support on the host plant. They absorb water from the atmosphere and mineral salt from dust particles which fall on the roots of the Epiphyte.
What does salt do to plant growth?
Putting salt into plant soil will hinder plant growth and even kill the plant by making the soil outside more concentrated than the environment inside of roots. This stops the absorption of water and minerals by the roots.
Does fresh water affect plant growth?
the salt water is in the soil than the roots will be waekned and it will die
Why are plants killed when expose to concentrated salt water?
Salt kills plants because it dehydrates the roots so the plant cannot get enough water.
How do mineral salts enter a organism?
Plants take in salt dissolved in water through their roots. Animals obtain most of their salt from food but may supplement it by licking natural salt deposits.
Why would potted plant die when salt is scatter on it?
The salt unbalances the plant's systems and prevents it from doing certain necessary actions.

What are the ingredients in mineral water?
halite is one mineral in mineral water. Halite is used as table salt. It forms when water evaporates and leaves behind the salt.
