The reasons why plants need water:

  • To produce chemical reaction inside cells.
  • To allow the cell to become turgid.
  • 70% of cytoplasm in cells is water.
  • It is used for photosynthesis.
  • For the cells to function.
  • Transport of nutrients
  • So that the plant remain upright.
  • So that the plant can remain cool.

How do plants get the water they need?

They get their water from the soil through the roots. 

  • Water is always being lost from leaves by evaporation
