The following three points will highlight the three major pathways of water movement in roots with diagram. This allows direct cytoplasm-to-cytoplasm flow of water and other nutrients along concentration gradients. In particular, it is used in the root systems to bring in nutrients from soil. It moves these solutes from epidermis cells through the cortex into the endodermis and eventually [...]

Movement of Water in Plants (With Experiments)! Ringing Experiments: Most land plants obtain the necessary water for normal growth and development from the soil. By far, the largest proportion of absorbed water is lost as vapour in the process of transpiration from the aerial parts. Much smaller quantities are utilised for growth and for various other metabolic processes of plants. [...]
