The roots help absorb the water directly from the soil they're in. This then reaches the xylem in the root, which is responsible for carrying the water all the way through the roots, stem, and leaves of the plant.

∙ 12y agoA tube of small internal diameter raises water by capillary action.
Actually, capillary action has little to do with water transport from the roots to the leaf. Some of the Giant Redwoods (Sequoia gigantum) are 300+ feet tall. The surface tension of water can't haul water that far. The two major forces that force the water that high is a positive pressure from the roots and a vacuum created by the leaves. The leaves have small openings called stomata. When a molecule of water evaporates through these stomata, a vacuum is created which draws the next water molecule up to replace the evaporated one. This process continues, thus creating a vacuum in the system. In the root system, ions of the nutrients create a positive pressure on the outside of the cells of the roots and this in effect helps push water up the tree.
A side note: The physics of this process limits the maximum height of any tree to approx 400 feet tall. Any higher than this and the whole water column would collapse.

In plants what is transported from roots to leaves?
Food material prepared by the leaves is transported to the roots.
What water is transported from a plant's roots to its leaves in a tissue is called?
Evaporation from the leaves is called transpiration.
How is water transported from the roots to the leaves?
Water, when its in the xylem, is coheisive. They stick together and get sucked up together so they can to the leaves and other parts of the plant.
What happens to leaves when water reaches it?
it gets transported to analogical spacinian a part of a flower then it gets to the roots the root kills it and then water dies and the world will end today so be careful.
Why should you water a plant near its roots instead of its leaves?
The roots are what carry the water to the leaves, though many people do spray the leaves their plants with water as well.
In plants what is transported from roots to leaves?
Food material prepared by the leaves is transported to the roots.
What is water is transported from a plants roots to its leaves in a tissue called?
answer is the vascular system
How water get into plants leaves?
Water is absorbed by plant roots and transported, by capillary action, through the fibrous material of the plant stem, to the leaves.
What water is transported from a plant's roots to its leaves in a tissue is called?
Evaporation from the leaves is called transpiration.
What material is transported from the leaves to the roots?
minerals
Carry water to the leaves and carry sugar and oxygen from the leaves to the living parts of the plant that need it?
Xylem carries water from the roots to toward the leaves. Phloem carries sugar and nutrients from the leaves toward the roots. Oxygen is transported by diffusion, NOT by the liquid transport system.
How does leaf take in water to perform photosynthesis?
Water is absorbed by the roots of a plant, and is transported to leaves by means of fibrous or vascular tissues in the plant.
How does watet get from the celery's roots to its leaves?
Water is transported from the roots of a plant to its leaves via the xylem (essentially a tube whose purpose is to transport water). Water is allowed to "travel up" the stem via cohesion and adhesion; water coheres to other water molecules and it adheres to the xylem.
What substance is transported from the leafs to the roots?
Water
How do plants absorb water from the soil?
Roots have hairs on the tips that soak up the water and they then soak the water up the plant and then the water is transported to the other veins in the leaf.
What part of a tree drink the water?
the leaves and roots take the water ^^
Why would the plant die if the phloem and xylem is removed?
It would die as water and minerals absorbed from the roots cannot be transported to other parts of the plant.Food made by the leaves cannot be transported to other parts of the plants too.So,the leaves and stems do not get the water and minerals absorbed by the roots.The roots and stems also cannot get the food made by the leaves.Hence,the plant will die eventually.
