    The document discusses transport systems in plants, including the xylem and phloem in monocot and dicot roots and stems. It also describes how water is absorbed in plants through root hairs and capillary action and then transported through the xylem vessels. Water moves upwards through transpiration and the cohesion of water molecules and is distributed throughout the plant.
