What is transportation in plants?
Transportation in plants is the process by which water, minerals, and food are moved from one part of the plant to another.
Plants use specialized tissues called xylem and phloem for transportation. Xylem carries water and minerals absorbed by the roots to different parts of the plant, while phloem transports the food prepared in the leaves to other regions where it is needed.
This transportation system ensures that all plant cells receive essential substances for growth, respiration, and other life processes.
Transportation in plants is important for maintaining proper functioning, growth, and survival of the plant.
