Tracheids and vessels of xylem
cohesion helps water and minerals flow because... water molecules cling to each other as a result of a force called cohesion cling to molecules of other substances, too , and this force is calledadhesion. This forces water to climb up tubes of xylem tissue.
Transpiration creates a negative pressure in the leaves, which pulls water up from the roots through the xylem tissue in a process called transpiration pull. This upward movement of water helps to maintain a continuous flow of water and nutrients from the soil to the roots. This process is essential for the root system to efficiently absorb water and minerals from the soil.
Water picks up minerals through a process called weathering, where it interacts with rocks and soil. As water flows over or through these materials, it dissolves soluble minerals and carries them along. This process can be enhanced by factors such as acidity, temperature, and the presence of organic matter, which can increase water’s ability to dissolve and transport minerals. Ultimately, this mineral-rich water can contribute to the nutrient content of ecosystems and aquifers.
A natural source of hard water is the dissolution of minerals, particularly calcium and magnesium, from geological formations such as limestone and chalk. When rainwater or surface water percolates through these mineral-rich rocks, it picks up dissolved ions, leading to increased hardness. Additionally, groundwater sources can also contribute to hard water, as they often flow through mineral deposits over time. This results in water with high concentrations of these minerals when it emerges at the surface.
the roots make the water flow up from the ground through the xylem.

Through their roots. They soak up water in the soil, and while they are getting their water, the nutrients in the soil get carried up into the plant itself through the water. In other words, the nutrients in the soil get mixed into the water, get soaked up into the roots of the plant, which distribute the nutrient-infested (for lack of a better word) water through the whole plant.

The xylem in a plant transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the shoots and leaves. The movement of water is typically upward and against gravity due to the cohesion and adhesion properties of water molecules within the xylem vessels.
The root system of a plant collects water and minerals from the soil through its network of roots. Water and minerals are absorbed through root hairs and transported up through the plant via the xylem vessels in the stem. This process is essential for the plant's growth, photosynthesis, and overall health.
That is the vascular tissue. Xylem conducts water and minerals up from the roots to the leaves of the plant and phloem conducts the sugars made in the plant to where they are needed.
transpirational pull and the roots actively take up ions from the soil, this creates a difference in the concentration of ions; to eliminate this difference water flows into the roots and is transportd to the rest of the plant body.
