Moving fluids in plants (celery)?

Question

I did this biology lab where I compared celery in water and food colouring to celery in water, food colouring AND salt.

I was just wondering:

how are the water carrying tissues in celery diferent from those that do not carry water?

Sources would be helpful also :)

Thanks

Answer 1

The xylem carries water with food coloring to the rest of the plant.

It moves by capillary action .

The phloem carries the food to the rest of the plant.
