There are two types of tubes
The xylem and phloem connect the top and bottom of the plant
Each has its own job. The plant uses the water transported by the xylem in both photosynthesis and transpiration. Plant leaves are adapted for photosynthesis and gas exchange Roots absorb water and mineral ions through root hair cells and are transported up the plant by the xylem
The xylem distributes water and dissolved minerals upward through the plant, from the roots to the leaves The phloem carries food downward from the leaves to the roots Xylem cells constitute the major part of a mature woody stem or root. Xylem carries water and dissolved minerals from the roots to different parts of the plant
This process happens through capillary action and transpiration pull—as water evaporates from the leaves, it pulls more water up from the roots like a drinking straw!
