These are just some of the basics of how a plant brings food and water, up to the leaves.
Osmosis is a powerful force carrying water and nutrients up a tree or plant stem.
Osmosis, draws or pushes, fluids from one area, containing a solution of low concentration, into another area, through a membrane, and into a solution, that has less water by percentage, or a higher concentration, of dissolved substances.
Evaporation is the basis, or driving force allowing the osmosis to occur. By the leaves allowing water to evaporate, they also cause a lack of water in the solution, in the leaves. The solution becomes more concentrated in the leaves. This causes water to move upwards and into the leaves.
Capillarity is a very important effect as well. Most have noticed that when they put a soda straw into a beverage, that inside the straw the liquid level is slightly higher. Then the rest of the liquid in the cup. That effect if you have ever witnessed it, is capillarity.
The smaller the straw, tube or channel, the greater the effect of capillarity. Without this effect, fluids would run down the stem and never reach the top of the plant.

What part of the flowering plant supports the leaves and transports water and water and nutrients to the leaves?
The stem of a flowering plant supports the leaves and transports water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves.
What part of the plant carries water through the stem?
The vascular tissue xylem carries water from the roots of the plant to the leaves of the plant via the stem of the plant.
What part of a plant transports water and nutrients from the root to the plant's stem and leaves?
The xylem is the part of a plant that transports water and nutrients from the roots to the stem and leaves. It consists of a network of hollow tubes that allow for the upward movement of water and minerals through capillary action.
What is the function of the rootflowerleafand stem?
The root... draws water into the plant from the soil. The flower... entices insects to pollinate the plant. The leaf... absorbs oxygen from the air. The stem... transports water from the roots - throughout the plant.
Is peas a stem?
No, peas are not a stem. Peas are a type of vegetable that grow from the seeds of the pea plant, Pisum sativum. The stem is a part of the plant that provides support and transports nutrients and water.
What is the use of a stem on a plant?
carries water and other nutrients throughout the plant.
How does the stem contribute in photosynthises?
the stem tranfers nutrients and water to other parts of the plant
What does a stem take in?
A stem takes in all the nutrients and water from the soil to "feed" the plant.
What does the stem in a plant do?
Transfer water and nutrients absorbed in the roots to the higher parts of the plant.
What part of the flowering plant supports the leaves and transports water and water and nutrients to the leaves?
The stem of a flowering plant supports the leaves and transports water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves.
What is the stem of a plant?
The stalk or stem provides the leaves/flowers with nutrients and water from the ground. The leaves provide the roots with nutrients from the air and sun.
What is stem of a plant?

What is the part of the plant that provides its support?
The stem is the part of the plant that provides support by holding up the plant and connecting the roots to the leaves and flowers. It also transports water and nutrients throughout the plant.
How does a rose grow from a stem?
A rose grows from a stem through a process called photosynthesis, where the plant uses sunlight, water, and nutrients from the soil to produce energy and grow. The stem provides support and transports water and nutrients to the rest of the plant, allowing the rose to develop and bloom.
What part of a plant could be considered to highway for getting water and nutrients to the leaves?
the stem
