1) What are the functions of roots in plants?
• Absorb water and minerals
• Anchor the plants
• Store food
Plant Structures and Functions: Lesson 2
Plant Transport Systems:
Vocabulary Part I
1) Xylem: moves water and minerals up
from the roots (Trunk or stem).
2) Phloem: moves the sugar produced in
the leaves to its other parts.
3) Cambium: is where new xylem and
phloem cells are produced.

Plant Structures and Functions: Lesson 2
Plant Transport Systems: Main Ideas
1) How do different materials move in
plants?
1) Xylem transports water and minerals from
the roots to the rest of the plant.
2) Phloem transports sugar (energy) from
the leaves to the rest of the plant.
3) Roots and leaves absorb needed
materials such as carbon dioxide,
sunlight, water and minerals
