  • Roots will branch out to find a water source
  • Epidermal cells have root hair with also increase the area of absorbsion of water
  • There is movement of active transport of minerals and osmosis of water in the epidermal cells
  • The minerals are dissolved in water and is tranported up to the leaf by the xylem
