Why does a plant need roots a stem and leaves?

plants have these part because they are autotrophs which mean they make there own food. The roots bring up nutrients and water from the ground, and the leaves pull carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to create clorphyll. The biproduct of this process is oxygen. This process is called Photosynthesis. Plants also create gluclose, or sugar


What is the job of root hairs?

Root hair cell are dermal cells found on the roots of many vascular plants.Their job is to provide a greater surface area for water absorption.As transpiration pulls water up to the leaves, root hair cells have to absorb large amounts of water. The process by which root dermal cells take in water is osmosis. In order to diffuse large amounts of water, a cell obviously needs a large surface area. The root hair cells provide this needed extra surface area to absorb large amounts of water.

How does water get from a plant's roots to its stem?

The root must take the water up to the leaf so that the leaf can do photosynthesis, which means make food for the plant. In order to do this, the root has veins that go directly to the leaves, which we can see as thin lines on the the leaves. There are two types of veins: xylem and phloem. The xylem takes the water up from the roots to the leaves. After the leaf combining the water with other ingredients to do photosynthesis and make a special kind of sugar known as the plant's food, the sugar flows down the phloem to the roots so that the food will be stored for later.
