The leaves and some petals of plants contain many small pores, called stomata
or stomates (singular: stoma or stomate). Water evaporates through these pores.
As it does so, the plant draws water through its stem, and ultimately from its roots Results

via the surrounding soil (or from the water in the vase). This process of water loss
from the plant is called transpiration. Water movement through the plant occurs in What happened?

the xylem occurs in vascular bundles that also contain phloem, which transports now know?
organic compounds throughout the plant. In leaves, vascular bundles are termed Was your
veins. Blue or red dye is very good for outlining the xylem in the plant as it draws hypothesis

look at it in cross-section. Why or why not?
