Question

How water absorbed by the roots is important for the plants?

Answer 1

The water absorbed by the roots is important for the plant in three main ways:

1. Transportation: The water in the plant body transports substances in solution from one part to another.
2. Food production: Water is used in producing food (photosynthesis) by combining it with carbon-dioxide from the air in the presence of sunlight.
3. Cooling: Water is used to cool the plant by evaporation through leaves when it is hot outside.
