Transportation in plants involves absorbing substances in one part and moving them elsewhere via processes like transpiration, osmosis, and diffusion. Transpiration is the loss of water vapor through aerial plant parts. Osmosis is the passive movement of solvent molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from lower to higher concentration. Diffusion and ascent of sap actively move molecules from high to low concentration areas, requiring energy. Xylem tissue forms passages transporting water and minerals from roots to aerial parts, consisting of tracheids, vessel elements, xylem parenchyma and xylem fibers.

Transportation: Transportation in plants is the process in
which substances absorbed or synthesized in one part of the
plant are moved to other parts of the plant. Transpiration: Transpiration is the loss of water as water vapour from the aerial parts of a plant. OSMOSIS:A process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one. Diffusion: hey move from a region where they are in high concentration to a region where they are in low concentration. Ascent of sap: The movement of molecules from their lower concentration to a higher concentration that reqires energy and is called as diffusion. Xylem :This tissue forms a passage to transport water and mineral salts from the roots to the aerial parts of the plant. The xylem tissue consists of four types of cell: trac
