Assuming you mean vascular plants the transportation system here are the vascular tissues. The xylem moves water from the roots to the leaves. The phloem moves sugars, carbohydrates, from the leaves to everywhere in the plant needing these sugars.
Water and nutrients are absorbed by the roots and travel through the xylem tissue in the stems via capillary action and transpiration pull. This process helps provide water for photosynthesis in the leaves and nutrients for growth and metabolism in the plant. The movement is facilitated by cohesion and adhesion forces within the plant's vascular system.
In nonvascular plants like mosses and liverworts, water is absorbed directly through the plant's cell walls by a process called osmosis. Once inside the plant, water moves through diffusion and capillary action from cell to cell, allowing nutrients and water to be distributed throughout the plant. This process is slower and less efficient than in vascular plants with specialized tissues for water transport.
The part of the plant that absorbs the water is the roots. The roots are the parts of the plant that are in charge of absorbing everything that the plant needs to live (not including sunlight). Oxygen, water, and minerals are absorbed through the roots.
Plant roots soak up water from the soil through a process called transpiration. This water is then transported throughout the plant to support various biological functions such as photosynthesis and growth.
Well, isn't that a fascinating question! Lightning can travel through water, but it doesn't travel very far. In pure water, lightning can travel about 10-20 meters, while in ocean water, it can travel a bit farther, up to 50 meters. Nature always finds a way to adapt and surprise us!

It floats.
If a plant's soil has too much water, the roots can rot, and the plant can't get enough oxygen from the soil. If there is not enough water for a plant, the nutrients it needs cannot travel through the plant.
The adhesion property of water and diffusion allows water to travel upwards, but xylems are the "pipes" that carry that water up and throughout the plant.
what is an acceptable blood sugar range witin two hours after a meal ??
need list
it travels through the xylem (water) and the phloem minerals
if you are talking about a plant that used to have leaves and lost them, than the now leafless plant loses (or has water travel faster through it) than with leaves, if you are talking about plants that are always leafless (cacti) it isn't faster than leaf plant because they store their water better so it moves very slowly in cacti.
Water is cohesive, allowing it to travel up plant stems.
Primarily water passes through the stem of a vascular plant. However, minerals from the soil, which are absorbed by the plant's roots, also travel through the stem.
