Describe the process of transportation of food in plants.

Answer»

Plants have two different types of 'TRANSPORT' tissue. Xylem transports water and solutes from the roots to the leaves, phloem transports food from the leaves to the REST of the plant. Transpiration is the process by which water evaporates from the leaves, which results in more water being drawn up from the roots.

Plant transport

No heart, no blood and no circulation, but plants do need a transport system to move food, water and minerals around. They use two different systems – xylem moves water and solutes from the roots to the leaves – phloem moves food substances from leaves to the rest of the plant. Both of these systems are ROWS of cells that make continuous tubes running the full length of the plant.
