Water and dissolved minerals move from the soil into a plant through a pathway called the root pathway. The pathway includes apoplastic transport, symplastic transport, and movement between cells. However, phloem is not part of the pathway for water and dissolved minerals. Phloem is responsible for the transport of nutrients and sugars from the leaves to the rest of the plant.
