It is due to gravity. Cut the stems underneath water to lessen this effect. If not done, this will often cause an air bubble to form in the stem, so stopping water continuing up the stem.
this is due to the upward movement of water/sap in the plant which is called ascent of sap.
yes
Yes Distilled water can be used in nuclear power plants to obtain steam. This steam after spinning the turbines (to turn electric generators for electricity generation) is condensed in a closed circuit and returned back as water to be heated up again and turned to steam.
it keeps the plant stuck in the ground so i won't blow away in the wind and water travells throught it from the roots to the leaves
the iron weed plant is the most interesting by far. It has long roots that can take water molocules from the soil and narrow leaves that help it stay cool by spreading away from the plant steam.

Xylem tissue. It give the herbaceous support beside transporting water from the root to all parts of plant.
Bark, cuticle prevents water loss from softer/ herbaceous parts of the plant
A steam plant is any where from 33% to 48% efficient. With a steam plant you use steam to run an electirc generator. Water is heated creating steam. Which is sent through the steam turbine.
Heat from the nuclear reaction changes water to steam.
This simply means in a steam/water mixture the proportion of steam to the total mass of steam and water. This is relevant to BWR's which produce a steam/water mixture at the core outlet.
We see the wide use of pipe to carry steam and water in a power plant. Insulation is applied where necessary.
Heat from the nuclear reaction changes water to steam.
By heating water
To provide steam to drive a steam turbine.
When water oozes gradually through a porous substance
It is initially just normal mains water, but then it is purified by a demineralisation plant, so that water turning to steam does not leave deposits in the steam raising units or in the reactor in the case of a BWR. The steam is condensed to water after going through the turbine, and then recirculates, so the water makeup only has to replace loses due to leakage.
