Plants use another strategy, such as transpiration and cohesion-tension, to move water in the xylem upwards to the highest points of the plant body.

The pressure created by water moving into the root xylem alone is unlikely to be sufficient to move water over significant heights in plants due to gravity and other factors.

The difference in ion concentration between the root and the soil causes water to move into the root from the soil, resulting in a steady movement of water into the root xylem.

Vessels and tracheids in the xylem tissue are interconnected to form a continuous system of water-conducting channels that reach all parts of the plant.

The phloem transports products of photosynthesis, such as sugars and other organic molecules, from the leaves where they are synthesized to other parts of the plant.

The xylem primarily transports water and minerals obtained from the soil.

The two conducting tubes in plant transport systems are the xylem and the phloem.

Plants have low energy needs because they do not move, and a significant portion of their tissues consist of dead cells. As a result, they can utilize relatively slow transport systems.

Capillaries are the smallest vessels in the circulatory system with walls only one-cell thick. They facilitate the exchange of materials between the blood and surrounding cells, allowing for the delivery of oxygen and nutrients and the removal of waste products.
