How Transports water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves?

Plants transport water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves through a system of specialized tubes called xylem. Water is absorbed by the roots and travels up through the xylem vessels using a combination of capillary action and transpiration. Nutrients dissolved in the water are also transported along with it to nourish the plant.
