Why do plants have a slow transport system?

Asked by Hassan288

Answer (3)

because they dont have pumping system of blood over the body like us thats why their transport system is slow

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t In a plant body large number of cells is dead.
Moreover plants do not have any pumping machine like heart that makes
transportation in animals faster. For these reasons plants have slow
transport system. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Plants have a slow transport system because they lack a central pumping mechanism like a heart, relying instead on passive transport through xylem and phloem. The xylem moves water and minerals upward using capillary action and transpiration, while the phloem distributes sugars at a slower pace due to metabolic processes. This system is efficient for plants' needs, allowing growth and stability rather than speed.
