It's either tubers or rhizomes. Tubers have starch filled roots, like potatoes, which I guess you can call tube shaped. Or you mean rhizomes, tubular roots that result in another, cloned, plant. Like the raspberry bush in my garden that has sent out roots to grow another plant right in the middle of our lawn...

What tubes carry water and FOOD?

The xylem tubes in plants carry water from the roots to the leaves, while the phloem tubes transport food (sugars) produced in the leaves to other parts of the plant for storage or growth.


What is xylem tubes?

Xylem tubes are a part of the plant's vascular system that transports water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant. These tubes are made up of elongated cells called tracheids and vessel elements, which are interconnected to form a network for efficient water conduction.


What plant has no roots?

AnswerMoss has no roots.Mosses are small green plants growing in dense clusters in damp, shady places. Mosses are a type of plant called a bryophyte. Bryophytes are structurally the simplest of all land plants. A moss plant body has no roots and has tiny cellular threads that serve as anchors called rhizoids.Also, parasitic plants have no roots. like misltoe...


What are epiphytic roots?

Epiphytic roots are specialized roots found on plants that grow above the ground, without needing soil. These roots help the plant attach to trees or rocks, absorb moisture from the air, and sometimes collect nutrients. Epiphytic plants are commonly found in tropical forests.


What are special tubes that carry water and minerals from the roots to the leaves in a plant?

The tubes are called conductive tissues. There are two main groups: Xylem which transports water from the roots to the stems and leaves, and Phloem which transports the products of photosynthesis (sugars)primarily from the leaves to the rest of the plant

What are vascular plants that do not have true roots called?

If I remember right the fact that its a vascular plant means that it also has roots along with xylem and phloem. So if it doesnt have roots its not a vascular plants.

Long tubes that transport water from the roots to the leaves?

Xylem tissue in plants is responsible for transporting water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves. These long tubes are made up of specialized cells that form a network throughout the plant to deliver water and minerals to the entire plant. This process is essential for plant growth, photosynthesis, and the distribution of nutrients.

What are two types of thin water conducting tubes in plants?

Xylem and phloem are the two types of thin water conducting tubes in plants. Xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while phloem transports sugars produced during photosynthesis to other parts of the plant.

How do plant roots breathe in the soil?

Plants breathe in the soil with the help of their roots . Some plants such as mangroves grow in muddy soil which does not contain much oxygen. To get some air, some mangroves give out special roots called breathing roots. Breathing roots are lined with special cells ( called lentils ) that absorb air. But , plants usually do not breathe through their roots ( mostly through leaves ) . Mostly soil particles can go through roots but I don't know how.
