Roots absorb water from the soil through a process called osmosis. They take up water through specialized root hairs that increase the surface area for absorption. This water is essential for the plant's physiological processes, including photosynthesis and nutrient transport.

What plant has no roots and does not need watering?
Air plants (Tillandsia) are plants that do not require soil and absorb nutrients and water through their leaves. They can survive by simply misting them occasionally or soaking them in water every few weeks. They can be attached to objects or hung in the air, making them a great low-maintenance plant for indoor spaces.
How does water move through a tree to the top?
Water molecules reach the tips of the roots and are absorbed. The roots absorb both water and nutrients so the water molecules are sucked in through the hairs of the roots. Due to extreme pressure in the roots, this pushes the water skywards. This force allows the water to travel up 3 metres of the 90 metres. But alas, there is still 87 metres left to go. Here pull takes over. The pull is evaporation of water, better known as transpiration if in leaves/ plants. Here, the pull process pulls the molecules up the full height of 90 metres and is used as a suction force.The process which works alongside this "push and pull"action is "capillary action" which works through the xylem of plants. Because the xylem is a tube, water molecules are indefinitely attracted and rise up these walls
What do you call a cold weather jacket?
You call a cold weather jacket a coat or a winter jacket.
Why do roots grow down and stems grow up?
Its basically because of geotropism (when it grows downwards/follows gravity) plants always have their roots growing down because if they didn't grow down, they wouldn't support a plant very well. the stem always grows up, generally for the same reason, but also because the sun is up. phototropism comes into play here. plants always try to grow towards the sun, enabling them to have a good source. So the root grows downwards to get the nutrients/find the nutrients that the plant needs to grow and stay living.-(don't ask me y this part has a line through it!!)
Which substance in plants contain water?
I'm assuming you meant "why", not "what". All organisms (living things) need water to survive, not just plants. Water serves many functions in plants, including as a part of chemical reactions that make sugar from sunlight and air (photosynthesis), as well as energy from sugar (cellular respiration). It's used in the process of hydrolysis to digest food in the stomach, and many vitamins need to be dissolved in water in order to be absorbed. It also makes up the majority of fluids inside cells and between them. Water is used in plants, like all other organisms, for osmosis, which is a natural occurance that keeps the makeup of a solution on both sides of an obstacle (in this case, the cell membrane and cell wall) even. In plants, because of the stiff cell wall, the water creates pressure called turgor pressure, which is how plants manage to stay up (think about an inflated tire).
What is a sentence for absorb?
The salt will absorb the mummy's oil within 40 days. I am still trying to absorb today's lesson.
Where does water enter a plant?
A plant absorbs water through its roots, going up through the stem, to the rest of the plant. There are little openings in the leaves called "pores" which also absorb a bit of water and cells as well. -Hope this helped! Love, KOOKIE MONSTER

How does the rainforest's water cycle work?
Here is a breif summary of what it basically is: It rains in the rainforest. It goes into the ground and the tree's roots 'absorb' it and it goes to where ever the tree needs water. Then the process called 'precipitation' happens from the leaves losing water to the air, and it turns into steam, as you SHOULD know, steam collects together in the air, until it gets heavy and kind of bursts and falls towards the ground which we call 'condensation' or just 'rain.' Then the process starts all over again.
What is the function of roots stems and leaves?
Here are the following functions of the root, stem, and leaf. Root- It stores food, absorbs water & nutrients, and anchors the plant to the ground. Stem- Supports plant, transports nutrients, and storage of food/nutrients. Leaf- Contains chloroplast (filled with chlorophyll) and it's where photosynthesis takes place.
How does the body prevent dehydration?
Generally the hand will lift a glass of water to the lips and tilt it back. When this happens the water goes into the mouth. After the proper amount of water is placed with in the mouth the lips will close and then something happens that I like to call "swallowing". This is when the muscles in the throat carry the water down into stomach. From here the body will absorb what it needs to rehydrate itself.
What functions do roots and stems share?
Stems support flowers and leaves, roots support the entire plant. They both have vascular tissue that transports water and nutrients and they both have a meristem which allows for lateral (width) and apical (length) growth.
What are the 4 kinds of roots?
Not sure what answer you are looking for, but here are 4 types of roots in math. First is a square roots, next is cube roots, then the nth roots, and lastly rational roots.
How does cactus get water in the desert?
Some of them do and some varities don't. Here is web site I have found that's very interesting. The Barrel Cactus is used for candy, drinking and many other things. http://www.desertusa.com/mag99/june/papr/barrelcactus.html
How does water travel witin a plant?
Assuming you mean vascular plants the transportation system here are the vascular tissues. The xylem moves water from the roots to the leaves. The phloem moves sugars, carbohydrates, from the leaves to everywhere in the plant needing these sugars.
Does red reflect or absorb sunlight?
Type your answer here... Darker reds absorb sunlight were lighter reds reflect.
