Take a balsam plant, cut the base of it. Now in a beaker, take water mixed with few drops of red ink. Place the plant inside this beaker, for a day. Observe the plant next day. One can see thin red lines along the stem and leaves, and also on petals of flowers. This experiment demonstrates the transportation of water in plants.
