How are water and minerals transported in plants?

(N/A) The components of $xylem$ tissue (tracheids and vessels) of roots,stems,and leaves are interconnected to form a continuous system of water-conducting channels that reaches all parts of the plant.
Transpiration creates a suction pressure,as a result of which water is forced into the $xylem$ cells of the roots.
Then,there is a steady movement of water from the root $xylem$ to all the plant parts through the interconnected water-conducting channels.
