Water Management in Plants: Staying Hydrated to Stay Alive

Water is life—and for plants, managing it is a delicate balance between survival and growth. In this episode of Deep Dive, we explore how plants control their water uptake, transport, and loss. From the roots that absorb moisture from the soil, to the xylem that lifts it skyward, to the stomata that regulate transpiration—every part plays a role. How do plants avoid drying out or drowning? What adaptations help them thrive in deserts or wetlands? Join us as we dive into the inner plumbing of the plant world! 🚿🌱🔬
