Water primarily moves up plants through the Xylem along with micro-nutrients suspended in the water. The plant then produces chlorophyll through photosynthesis which is uses as food. This is a drastic oversimplification of the process, of course. But to answer your question's.

Why do plants die after their roots are cut?

Plants die after their roots are cut because the roots are responsible for absorbing water and nutrients from the soil, which are essential for the plant's survival. Without an adequate supply of water and nutrients, the plant is unable to carry out essential functions like photosynthesis and growth, leading to its eventual death.


Where do water and nutrients go after they are taken in by the roots?

Water and nutrients taken in by the roots are transported upward through the plant's vascular system, mainly through the xylem tissue. The water moves up to the stems and leaves to support processes like photosynthesis. Nutrients are also distributed to various parts of the plant to support growth and metabolic functions.


What two things do roots do?

What part of plant takes in water?

The roots of a plant are responsible for taking in water and nutrients from the soil. They have specialized structures called root hairs that increase surface area for absorption. Water moves up through the plant to the leaves through a system of vessels called xylem.
