Transportation in plants, deal with what is being transported within the plant, as well as to the plants. Plants have tissues to transport water, nutrients and minerals. Xylem transports water and mineral salts from the roots up to other parts of the plant, while phloem transports sucrose and amino acids between the leaves and other parts of the plant. Moving on the chapter gives a slight glimpse of the process of transpiration as well. Transpiration is the method of evaporation of water from the leaves, in turn, resulting in more water being drawn up from the roots. To reduce excessive water loss, the plants have adapted themselves. “Transportation is the process that involves the movement of water and necessary nutrients to all parts of the plant for its survival. “ Transportation is a vital process in plants. Trees transport all the nutrients and water it needs for survival from its roots to the tips of the leaves.
