Is this right:
Plants get their nutrients through photosynthesis, which uses CO2 and water to make sugar and oxygen. Since photosynthesis occurs in the leaves of the plant.
Is the role of the xylem to move the water from the roots to these leaves so that photosynthesis can occur?
And the phloem transports the products of photosynthesis around the plant. Does this also include oxygen, or is it only sugar that is transported by the phloem. Does it also transport water, since water is also a product of photosynthesis?
