Most nutrients are transported through the phloem cells in a plant, while water (and some root products) are carried by the separate cell structures known as the xylem.
stems
The two structures in the stem of a plant are xylem and phloem. Xylem goes up and carries water and nutrients to the the leaves while phloem goes down and carries sugars to the roots of the plant.

Phloem
The roots of the plant absorb water and nutrients from the soil. The xylem, a type of tissue in the plant, carries these materials upward from the roots to the rest of the plant, including the stem, leaves, and flowers.

Water helps a plant by transporting important nutrients through the plant. Nutrients are drawn from the soil and used by the plant. Without enough water in the cells, the plants droop, so water helps a plant to stand.
