Were do plants get food from?
Plants most of the time have roots in the soil. These roots have root hairs and get mineral/salts + water from the soil. The xylem/phloem tubes in the plant transport these mineral/salts + water to different places of the plant. So simply said: Plant get their food from the soil. And so it also depends if your soil is well fertilised etc.
Do roots take in water from the ground?
Yes. Roots takes in mineral salts and water from the ground and transport to other parts of the plant by a "tube" called the xylem(it is also a tissue)
How do water and mineral salts get to the leaves and other parts of the plant?
Stem is the only one that will transport the water,food,mineral salts and sugar(food) to all parts of the plant. Because of stems,the water and mineral salts get to the leaves and other parts of a plant.
How do materials get into plant cells?
By photosynthesizing and taking in nutrients and mineral salts from the roots
How do the minerals are absorbed and reach to all parts of the plants?
Stem is the only one that will transport the water,food,mineral salts and sugar(food) to all parts of the plant. Because of stems,the water and mineral salts get to the leaves and other parts of a plant.
Do underground stems absorbs water and mineral salts for the plant?
The underground stems do not absorb water and mineral salts for the plant, rather these store the prepared food material in them to overcome adverse environmental conditions.
