How water climbs a plant — Seed Garden · Fruits & Vegetables
Leo wonders how water gets from the roots all the way up to the top leaves. Free Fruits & Vegetables game on MyLeoNes for ages 7–17; not medical or diet advice.
Your task
Put the experiment steps in order.
- Simply put, a stem is full of very thin tubes, like bundles of tiny straws. As the leaves let water escape into the air, more water is pulled up the tubes from below, so the coloured water climbs.
- Invented stories to learn from, not medical or diet advice. Every body and every family eats differently. For health or allergy questions, talk to a trusted adult or a health professional.
- Nothing about you or what you eat is collected.

In real life
Tall trees move water up from their roots in the same kind of thin tubes. On a hot summer day a big tree can lift hundreds of litres of water to its leaves without any pump.
