All plants, from the smallest grasses to the tallest trees, have to distribute the minerals and
water they absorb from the soil through their roots to everywhere, right to the tips of the-
ir leaves. This is of the greatest importance to plants because water and minerals are what
plants most need. But how are the water and mineral salts hidden in the depths of the so-
il taken up by the plant? In addition, how do plants transmit these substances they absorb
from the soil through their roots to all the different regions in their bodies? What techni-
ques do they use to perform these difficult processes? These processes are carried out to-
day with various hydrophore (pump and pipeline) systems. The transport and distributi-
on processes in plants are also performed by a kind of hydrophore system. The presence of
such a system in plants was discovered some 200 years ago, but plants have had this im-
portant feature for millions of years. Evolutionists have no rational explanation for this.
