(A) Stomata - (2)Transpiration -Transpiration is the evaporative loss of water by plants. It occurs mainly through the stomata in the leaves. Besides the loss of water vapor in transpiration, exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the leaf also occurs through pores called stomata.
(B) Xylem -(4)Transport of water -Xylem functions as a conducting tissue for water and minerals from roots to the stem and leaves. It also provides mechanical strength to the plant parts.
(C) Root hairs -(1)Absorption of water -Root hairs are the thin hairlike outgrowth of an epidermal cell just behind the tip of the root; absorbs water and nutrients from the soil.
(D) Phloem - (3)Transport of food -Phloem, also called bast, tissues in plants that conduct foods made in the leaves to all other parts of the plant.
