turgor pressure-caused by the osmotcic pressure of water, pushing the plasma membrane against the cell wall of plants keeps plant stem up and rigid
vascular tissue-food and water transfer system
xylem-long trachery cells transfer water and nutrients through plant and replaces whats used in photosynthesis and cellular resperation
stomata-pore used for gas exchange CO2 in H2O vapor out
soil sontributes to plant growth by supplying nitrogen and retaining water which is critical for growth and development physical support is also useful
casparian strip useful for forcing water into living cells
minerals then can be carried by xylem through osmosis
Food delivery is another story however...
Translocation through the pholem-living tissue that carries nutrients and glucose through its sieve cells actually move the food while companion cells tell it where to go
