In plants, minerals are primarily transported through xylem and phloem tissues. Xylem vessels carry water and dissolved minerals from the roots to other parts of the plant, while phloem transports organic nutrients, including some mineral elements, throughout the plant. Additionally, specialized root cells, such as root hairs, can absorb minerals from the soil and facilitate their movement to the vascular system. Overall, these transport systems work together to ensure that essential minerals reach all parts of the plant.
