well nonvascular plants don't have tubes such as vascular plants do. Water must soak into plants and pass slowly from cell to cell.
Primarily water passes through the stem of a vascular plant. However, minerals from the soil, which are absorbed by the plant's roots, also travel through the stem.
it travels through the xylem (water) and the phloem minerals
If a plant's soil has too much water, the roots can rot, and the plant can't get enough oxygen from the soil. If there is not enough water for a plant, the nutrients it needs cannot travel through the plant.
if you are talking about a plant that used to have leaves and lost them, than the now leafless plant loses (or has water travel faster through it) than with leaves, if you are talking about plants that are always leafless (cacti) it isn't faster than leaf plant because they store their water better so it moves very slowly in cacti.
Nutrients travel from the soil to the plant through a process called absorption. Plant roots take in water and nutrients from the soil through their root hairs. This allows the plant to receive essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are necessary for growth and development.
Water is carried through the plant by the xylem.
Water enters the xylem in plants through a process called transpiration. Transpiration is the movement of water from the roots, through the plant, and out through small openings in the leaves called stomata. This creates a negative pressure that pulls water up through the xylem tubes, allowing it to travel from the roots to the rest of the plant.
Maybe because when the water is in the soil and is going through the roots up the stem some soil particles can go in the water and travel with it.
no
Water travels through a plant from the roots to the leaves through a process called transpiration. Transpiration is the movement of water from the roots, up through the stem, and into the leaves where it evaporates through tiny pores called stomata. This process is driven by a combination of factors including capillary action, cohesion and adhesion forces, and the process of osmosis. The plant's vascular system, which consists of xylem and phloem tissues, helps transport water and nutrients throughout the plant.
Radio signals can travel through salt water.
In any tree, water is drawn upward from its roots, through its trunk to the leaves, where evaporation creates plant thirst caused by transpiration: that is, water out & CO2 in.
