Water and dissolved mineral salts from the roots are transported to the aboveground organs through?

Water and minerals that are dissolved in it are capable of rising to the upper terrestrial organs of plants. This is possible due to the presence of special conducting cells – vessels. They run throughout the plant’s body and provide plants with access to water in the soil. Vessels are composed of dead conducting cells. The fact that they are dead does not affect cell function. The water flows through diffusion and pressure differences. In trees, wood conducts water, which also consists of dead cells.
