Transport+System+In+Plants


 * Hi friends,**

This is what i know about the transport system in plants: Plants need water and food to survive. So they have tubes in them to transport food and water to all parts of a plant. The water is carried through a tube called the xylem and food is carried through a tube called phloem. Xylem After water and mineral salts are absorbed by the roots and into the plant, they are carried by the xylem to all parts of the plant. Phloem The food for the plant is made in the leaves. after the process, photosynthesis, the food is then carried by the phloem to all parts of the plant.

 * Xylem ** is one of the two types of transport tissue in vascular plants (phloem is the other). The word // xylem // is derived from the G reek word ξύλον ( // xylon // ), meaning "wood"; the best-known xylem tissue is wood, though it is found throughout the plant. Its basic function is to transport water, but it also transports some nutrients through the plant.

Well done, kids! Here's another on the food transport in plants: []
