In a plant cell, there is an organelle (part of a cell) called the vacuole. The vacuole is where all water, salts, minerals are stored.
The plant organelle, the central vacuole, is a water storage organelle that has multiple functions but is most well known for its role in maintaining "turgor pressure" for structural support of plant tissues. When the plant experiences water loss from its cells, the central vacuole shrinks in size, and the turgor pressure of the cell is lower, causing the plant tissues to exhibit wilting (the limpness you see in a plant stem and leaves when you haven't watered it in a while). So, all plants use their central vacuoles to store water, partly to use for metabolic purposes, and partly to keep the plants from wilting. Some plants, known as succulents (such as cacti and aloes), have specialized storage organs in leaves and stems which can be used to store water in dry environments.

What is a valuoles?
A valuole is a fluid filled sack found in plant cells. Its function is to store food, water and waste materials.
Do underground stems absorbs water and mineral salts for the plant?
The underground stems do not absorb water and mineral salts for the plant, rather these store the prepared food material in them to overcome adverse environmental conditions.
Where does a plant store food and water?
Well, it depends on what plant it is... But it is usually it's roots.

Do stems store store food and water?
if your talking about the flower no, flowers store water in the leaves and they dont really have food, they turn the water into food using their leaves.
What is the plant cell job for a vacuole?

What stores food and water in a plant?
they store food in their seeds which also contain their embryos The central vacuole, an organelle inside each plant cell, stores food, water, and waste.

Does dahlia store food for the plant?
Dahlia store food in their tubers.
Should you store plant based foods in plain water or salt water?
You should store plant based foods in salt water because salt water can cause plant cells to lose water due to osmosis, that also kills bacterias, so food can be stored for a long time. Also, I know that you can preserve food in saltwater so it doesn't rot as fast.
How does the cell work better with a vacuole?
A vacuole works beside the chloroplast, mitochondria, and the lysosomes.
