Cohesion and adhesion through xylem tissue. At least, that's the primary mechanism for complex plants. For simpler plants (e.g. mosses), it's mostly just a matter of diffusion.

What moves water and minerals through a plant?

transpirational pull and the roots actively take up ions from the soil, this creates a difference in the concentration of ions; to eliminate this difference water flows into the roots and is transportd to the rest of the plant body.


How is water carried through a plant?

Water is carried through the plant by the xylem.


What theory explains how water is moved from roots to leaves?

The cohesion-tension theory explains how water is moved from roots to leaves in plants. This theory suggests that water is pulled up through the plant by the cohesive forces between water molecules and the tension generated by transpiration in the leaves. This creates a continuous water column that is pulled up through the xylem.

How does a plant get it water?

Plants absorb water through their roots from the soil. Water travels up through the plant's roots, stem, and into the leaves through a process called transpiration. Transpiration helps in the movement of water and nutrients throughout the plant.


How does water goes through the plant?

Water goes through "xylem".


Where does water enter the plant?

Water enters a plant through the roots. The roots absorb water from the soil through root hairs and transport it up through the stem to the rest of the plant.


What the journey of water through a plant?

Water enters a plant through the roots by osmosis, moving through the root cells and up the stem to the leaves. Water is transported through the xylem tissue in the plant, driven by transpiration (evaporation of water from leaves). Finally, water is released through tiny pores on the leaves called stomata into the air as vapor.


What do veins do for a plant?

they carry the water and its sugars through the plant.


How does the plant get water?

Plants absorb water through their roots from the soil. The water is then transported throughout the plant to where it is needed for various biological processes, such as photosynthesis and nutrient transport.
