Plant tissues are made of mainly two types- xylem (the dead cells-hard surface cells that also then become the bark) and the phloem- which carries the soil-absorbed water to the leaves. When the plant is relatively tender, the red water (presumably made from food grade dye) is absorbed and due to the tender cells of the stem and the branches, the red colouring can be seen easily by the naked eye. Depending on the kind of dye used, the colour may stay for a few days or till those cells/leaves are shed. As clear water is taken up after you stop giving the red colour the cells in the stem and branches will start to regain the original translucency.
