What does the root do to the tree?
serve to anchor the tree against wind and other forces of nature

food

What is transpiration?
process by which water brought to the crown of the tree moves as water vapor into the atmosphere.

What is Phloem?
Carries food made in the leaves down to the branches, trunk and roots. It is protected by the dead, non- functioning outer bark.
