Best Answer

Water is transported upwards from the roots by a process called osmosis. This occurs in a layer of tissue called xylem consisting of elongated cells joined end to end. Xylem extends from the root all the way to the veins of a leaf. Downward transport of photosynthates and other substances such as hormones is achieved by a layer of tissue generally outside the xylem called the phloem. The order myrtales is an exception and has two layers of phloem both inside and outside the xylem.
