thattokenjewishkidParticipantHow does water move through a flowering plant, from the roots to leaving the plant, and what mechanisms are involved?

I am looking for the same answer to that question. How come nobody knows the anwer?

How come you don’t know the answer? Look into any plant physiology book. Look for xylem transport.

Mainly via the xylem. Mechanisms include: transpiration and capillary action.

Water and minerals from the soil to the plants through the epidermis of roots,cross the root cortex,and pass into the vascular cylinder.From there xylem sap,the water and dissolved minerals in the xylem,is transported through long distances by bulk flow to the veins that branch throughout each leaf.

Interesting and useful! Thanks!

The most important part of this process is xylem bulk flow. If the xylem’s efficiency is weak—something that happens commonly in many plants—it’s crucial to take proper care. This includes maintaining a clean environment, using good-quality water, and applying the right soil fertilizers. One fertilizer that is particularly known for supporting xylem bulk flow is Azotobacter vinelandii. You can explore more about it on reliable platforms to understand its benefits.
