How do the plant obtain water …

Plants are autotrophs that is they make their own food through the process of photosynthesis. They require carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to form glucose and oxygen.Chlorophyll traps sunlight, stomata takes in carbon dioxide and the water is absorbed from the soil by the roots. The prepared glucose is then sent to all parts of the plant through stems and branches and the oxygen is given out by the stomata.

Green plants make their food themselves. Green leaves make food from Carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.

Leaves have several tiny pore-like structures on the lower surface. Such a pore is called stomata through which leaves absorb carbon dioxide from air. Water is transported to the leaves through hair like pipelines from the roots. These pipelines are present throughout the plant, i.e. from roots to branches and leaves. These pipe-lines are known as Xylem. Xylem is a type of tissue. Chlorophyll, a green pigment, is found in green leaves. Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and gives energy. Chloroplast is the site of photosynthesis. Carbohydrate is used as food and oxygen is emitted out to atmosphere. This whole process of making food by plants is called photosynthesis.
