Explain why there is water in the stems and leaves even though it is the roots of the plant that absorb water? (1)Apart from water, what substance is found in these stems or leaves? (1)
Nice.
How detailed of an answer are you looking for from the kids?
erm elementary school, so not too detailed
Aa) Water-carrying tubes in the stem transport water from the roots to the stem and leaves.
b) Mineral salts
we don’t even teach that the water-carrying tubes are innermost (while food-carrying tubes are outer) haha
I will give this question to my daughter and see how she does.
She said "the flower drinks it like we drink with a straw" haha
