Need for Water Like all living things, plants need water to survive. Plants use water to maintain their shape, obtain energy through photosynthesis, collect dissolved nutrients from the soil, transfer small molecules throughout the plant, and cool off leaves in hot weather through evaporation. Because they need so much water, plants must have an efficient system to collect it. Roots. Plants obtain water through the soil. The roots are the transportation system to get the water from the soil and to the parts of the plant where it is needed. The roots branch off into smaller and smaller roots, and the smallest roots are called root hairs.
Plants absorb water through their roots through a process called osmosis. The water travels up tubes in the stems to all parts of the plants, and is used during photosynthesis to make food for the plant. When food coloring is added to the water, it travels with the water into the celery's stem and then into the leaves.
