The plants were wilting in a garden and the gardener watered the plants. The plants became fresh again. Which part of the plant is responsible for conducting water in it and how does the process of conduction of water take place in plants?

Answer

Xylem tissue

Conduction process:

• At the roots, cells in contact with soil actively take up the ions
• A difference in the concentration of ions is developed between the roots and the soil
• This difference brings movement of water from the soil into the roots
• Water therefore is conducted upwards in a plant through xylem
