The circulatory system
Roots have a big surface area and thin walls, which allow water to pass into them easily and the roots are very long they go down and down under the soil to find water.
*Its cellular respiration* The alimentary system, or the process of digestion. Consumption, inhalation (for some), choking (down wrong pipe), devouring, snarfing, stuffing the cake hole, etc!

A paramecium is more comparable to a whole human body than a single human cell. It contains the entire digestive stsyem (which for a paramecium, is simply taking in food, taking out nutrients and expelling waste). For a human cell, it is completely reliant on the respitory, digestive, and circulatory system. In order, one is used to obtain and get rid of gases, one is used to break down food, and the last is used to deliver both to the cells. Many singly cell or simple multi-cellular cells can, if needed, absorb gases through osmosis as they are so small, there waste is easily removed, food does not need to be transported and digestion is simple. Therefore, the paramecium does not have to deal with all the complexities the human cells must to survive.

respiratory
The main functions of the circulatory system in the human body are the delivering of food to the cells, delivering of oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body, the taking of Carbon Dioxide from the cells and taking it to the lungs and the transportation of blood proteins and hormones to the different organs and systems.
digestive and excretory
The respiratory system is responsible for taking in oxygen through the lungs and exchanging it with carbon dioxide, which is then exhaled out of the body. This system includes the nose, airways, lungs, and muscles involved in breathing.
The roots of a plant are responsible for taking in water and nutrients from the soil. They have root hairs that increase the surface area for absorption.
Plants use their roots to absorb water from the soil. The root system of a plant is responsible for taking up water and nutrients from the ground to support the plant's growth and functions.
Mainly in the small intestine. A small amount of absoprtion of nutrients can also take place in the stomach and large intestine.
Delivering the food and taking order .
Most nutrients are just dissolved in the plasma of the blood. They are transported to the cells when the heart pumps the blood through arteries, arterioles and capillaries. Nutrients diffuse through the walls of capillaries and enter cells.
Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. They act like a digestive system, taking in nutrients, breaking them down, and creating energy rich molecules for the cell.
TPN, or total parenteral nutrition, is taking in nutrients through a small vein. It is used when a patient can't tolerate nutrition via the digestive system.
