Here's how it works:

* Roots: The roots are the underground part of the plant. They have tiny root hairs that increase their surface area, allowing them to absorb water and dissolved minerals from the soil.

* Xylem: The water travels up the plant through specialized tubes called xylem. These tubes are like straws, transporting the water from the roots to the rest of the plant.
