The root must take the water up to the leaf so that the leaf can do photosynthesis, which means make food for the plant. In order to do this, the root has veins that go directly to the leaves, which we can see as thin lines on the the leaves. There are two types of veins: xylem and phloem. The xylem takes the water up from the roots to the leaves. After the leaf combining the water with other ingredients to do photosynthesis and make a special kind of sugar known as the plant's food, the sugar flows down the phloem to the roots so that the food will be stored for later.
