Carbon is present in various everyday items such as food, clothes, medicines, and books due to its versatile nature and prevalence in living structures.

Plants excrete waste substances into the soil surrounding their roots, enriching the soil with organic compounds and nutrients. This process helps in nutrient cycling and supports the growth of neighboring plants.

Plants store waste products in various forms, including as resins and gums in old xylem tissues, as well as in cellular vacuoles. Leaves that fall off also serve as storage sites for some waste products.

Many plant waste products are stored in cellular vacuoles, which act as storage compartments within plant cells. Additionally, waste products may accumulate in tissues with dead cells, such as leaves that fall off, or in older xylem tissues as resins ...

Transpiration allows plants to eliminate excess water through the process of evaporation from their leaves and stems. This helps regulate internal water balance and remove water-soluble waste products from plant tissues.
