Plants are composed up to 80% (by mass) or water.

They require water for:

Photosynthesis (water + sunlight + CO2 = sugar + Oxygen)

Cooling - water provides cooling through transpiration through the stomata

Translocation of minerals - water provides the medium for moving minerals and nutrients through the plant
