The xylem transports wax required to coat the surface of the plant.

The xylem transports oxygen that regulates carbohydrate production.

The xylem transports the water and minerals roots absoorb.

The hormone produced as a response to thigmotropism cause the roots to grow close to the surface and stems to stop growing.

The hormone produced as a response to geotropism shows a response where stems extend into the soil and roots are unaffected.

The hormone produced as a response to geotropism shows a response where roots growing downwards and stems growing upwards.

Xylem carries water and minerals upward from the roots to the leaves.

Xylem transports water and minerals both upward and downward, depending on the plant’s needs.

Hormones are transported through the flowers in order to anchor the plant into the soil preventing erosion.

Hormones are transported through the xylem and phloem allowing regulation of growth and stress responses.

Hormones will travel through fibrous roots only, allowing for downward movement of signals.
