The xylem tube carries the water from the roots to all parts of the plant, from bottom to top.
This works because
1 the water evaporates out of the leaves and so the water pressure causes the water to flow upwards.
2 if the other parts of the plant have a lower concentration of water in them, the water will flow into them through osmosis. (water flowing from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane like the plant cells.)
The phloem carries food from the leaves (and other food producing parts of the plant) to the rest of the plant, from top to bottom.

What vessel carries food through a plant?
the fertilization
How do the plant's watering carrying tubes work?
Plants have specialized tubes called xylem that transport water from the roots to the leaves. These tubes create a continuous column of water due to adhesion and cohesion forces. Water is absorbed by the roots and moves up the xylem through capillary action, supporting the plant's structure and facilitating the exchange of gases.
How does cohesion help water and minerals flow?
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.
What a safety device that melts if the current is too big?
It is a fuse, a piece of metal wire, usually in a glass tube, that can only just carry the maximum allowed current. A current greater than the maximum allowed will melt the wire.
What is the function of light wire?
To carry the electric power to a light . . OR . . it's wire that is not too heavy to carry.
Why do you rubbed paraffin at xylem?
To decrease the rate of transpiration. Paraffin is an oil or wax. The paraffin prevent the water in xylem loose up too much of water during transpiration. Especially in a hot, dry day.
Can goldfish go in a tube?
yes, they could, as long as the tube is filled with water and it's not too narrow.

Xylem cell job?
Xylem cells transport water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant. They provide mechanical support to the plant and help maintain its overall structure and rigidity. Xylem cells also play a role in the movement of water through the process of transpiration.
Xylem tubes are rigid because they include this chemical NOT found in phloem in their cell walls?
Xylem cells are strengthened by a substance called lignin. This strengthening is necessary because as water is pulled through the xylem it creates a pull on the cell walls which would cause the xylem to collapse, just like a paper straw collapses if it gets too wet.
What cells conduct water to the leaf from the roots?
If you are referring to trees then the answer in general is vascular cells. In the gymnosperms (softwoods like conifers) water transport is done mainly by tracheids. In the angiosperms (hardwoods like Oak, Maple, Poplar, etc.) the transport is done by a combination of vessels, axial parenchyma, tracheids and somewhat by fibers. The interesting fact is that the water transport is only done in the outer few rings of the sapwood. The heartwood cells are dead and serve as mechanical support
How capillary action works and why?
Water is a polar molecule and thus when a glass tube or any other tube with polar molecules is placed in water, the water molecules will attract the sides of the tube and overcome gravity. The property of water to attract the sides of the tube is called adhesion and the reason water isn't only on the sides but in the middle too is because of cohesion. Cohesion is water's ability to attract and hydrogen bond with itself so the water molecules on the sides of the tube attract other water molecules creating a network that reaches all the way across the tube.
Do xylem and phloem exist only in roots and stems?
No, xylem and phloem are present in roots, stems, and leaves of plants. Xylem transports water and minerals from roots to stems and leaves, while phloem carries sugars and other nutrients from photosynthetic tissues to other parts of the plant.
What is the purpose of the toilet tank overflow tube and how does it prevent water from overflowing the tank?
The purpose of the toilet tank overflow tube is to prevent water from overflowing the tank by diverting excess water into the toilet bowl. When the water level in the tank rises too high, the overflow tube allows the excess water to flow into the bowl, preventing a potential overflow.
What is a water way that is man-made and built to carry water for navigation?
A canal seems to be the obvious answer. Could be locks, too.
What should I do if the toilet tank water level is too low or too high?
If the toilet tank water level is too low, adjust the float valve to increase the water level. If it is too high, adjust the float valve to decrease the water level. Make sure the water level is about 1 inch below the top of the overflow tube.
