What part of plant takes in water?
That would be the roots. Major functions are the absorption of water and nutrients and for anchoring the plant to the ground. The outer surface of the primary root is called the epidermis. The process in which water is absorbed into the epidermal cells is called osmosis.
What do plants take in through the roots?
Water and Light
What plants roots take in water?
plant roots take in water by the hairs that the root has.
What part of the plant soaks up water from the soil?
The roots, in particular the xylem and phloem by capillary action
What part of a tree drink the water?

Is there any food without any moisture?
Possibly the freeze-dried foods which astronauts/survival experts take with them.
If the roots are cut and the cactus removed but some roots remain below ground will the cactus regrow?
Yes, cactus plants have roots.Specifically, a cactus plant needs roots to take in moisture and dissolved nutrients from the soil. It is upon this underground supply of moisture and dissolved nutrients that the entire plant depends for survival and growth. Additionally, roots keep the plant anchored in the ground or - in the case of epiphytic cactus plants - to the branches of trees.
How long does it take to grows an apple tree?

Does barrel cactus have a verry deep roots?
The barrel cactus [Echinocactus and Ferocactusspp] has spreading, shallow, fibrous roots. It's the only kind of roots that a cactus plant has. The roots need to spread out in search of rare soil moisture. They also need to be shallow to catch the drops of dew, fog, or rain that drip to the ground and into the soil. They need to be fibrous, too, to take in water and dissolved nutrients, to send up the stem for the photosynthetic interaction with sunlight.
What do plants take in through the roots?
Water and Light
What plant roots take in?

When moisture is heavy enough to fall back to Eath it is called?
Generically it is called precipitation. Specifically this precipitation can take the form of Hail, Snow or Rain.
Why must roots be wet to function properly?
Roots need to be wet in order to function properly because water is essential for the absorption of nutrients. When roots come into contact with moisture, they are able to take up water along with dissolved nutrients through their root hairs. The water also helps to maintain turgor pressure, which gives the roots the necessary rigidity to anchor the plant in the soil.
Do roots take in water from the ground?
Yes. Roots takes in mineral salts and water from the ground and transport to other parts of the plant by a "tube" called the xylem(it is also a tissue)
