TO PROVE WATER IS TRANSFERRED TO ALL BODY PARTS OF A PLANT BY THE VEINS OF THE STEM!!!

Let's see which part of the plant is used to prove water??



Materials:

Water
Food colouring
1plastic cup

Instructions
Put some water into the plastic glass.
Now put a few drops of colouring into it.
Put the carnation stem into the water; don’t let the flowers touch the water. After a few minutes observe what has happened to the flowers.

Observe:  The flowers change its colour to the colour of the food colour you had put in water!! HOW? The stem has transported the water to the entire plants! You don’t believe? Then cut the stem of the carnation and observe that there are coloured spots (the food colour you had chosen!) on the surface of the cut stem. Those are veins of the stem! Now you have enough proof to prove to prove water is transferred to all the parts of the body of a plant by the veins of the stem!!
