After 30 minutes in cold water with food coloring, celery will start to absorb the colored water through its vascular system. The food coloring will travel up the celery stalk, gradually dyeing it in the process. It creates a simple and visually appealing science experiment to demonstrate how plants absorb water.
The xylem tubes, tubes that suck up water and minerals in a plant, in the celery plant suck up the food coloring which to the tubes, is water. The tubes then just spread the water/food coloring to other parts of the celery.
It depends on how much food coloring you are trying to absorb, and how big the celery is. If you have a small stick of celery and a lot of food coloring, it will most likely take about a week or so for the celery to completely absorb the food coloring. When the color of the water and the color of the celery switch places, it is fully absorbed. I will be doing this experiment myself to see how long in days, minutes, and seconds it takes, but if you have any more questions, try it!
The flower will change faster because of the way water is transported through the stem. The celery will take longer as it will absorb through soaking, not through pulling it up through the stem.
The food color is absorbed by the celery from its roots, whatever color you put in the water affects the color of the celery.

Celery can change color if you put the ends of it in food coloring such as a blue, or red.
lets see because there is a stem which can transfer the food coloring up the stem and go to the petals and in a day and the colors will go every where in the stem and maybe the colors of the petals will change into different colors
Red food coloring is typically absorbed best by celery. This is due to the xylem's ability to transport colored water upward through the plant, where the red dye becomes visible in the celery's leaves and stems. The vibrant color contrast makes it easier to observe the absorption process. Other colors can also be absorbed, but red is often the most striking.
Celery absorbs red food coloring faster than blue or green due to its structure. Celery contains tiny tubes called xylem that transport water and nutrients, allowing the red dye to be absorbed more readily. The red color molecules are smaller and can travel more easily through the xylem compared to larger blue or green molecules.
