The edible part of asparagus is a plant stem. When asparagus is placed in water, water moves up tiny tubes in the stem by capillary action. Additional water in the asparagus plant helps it stay crisp instead of wilting.
Water moves into the carrot cells by the process of osmosis, which makes the carrot crisp again. When the carrot is in a container of water, a higher concentration of water is outside the carrot cells than is inside the carrot cells. Therefore, water moves from the higher concentration in the container to the lower concentration inside the carrot cells.
The pumpkin plant was inside a closed greenhouse. No bees were landing on the pumpkin blossoms to collect nectar and pollinate the flowers. Without pollinators, the pumpkin blossoms could not form seeds and the pumpkin fruit around the seeds.
The sweet pea flower seeds should be soaked before planting because water helps to soften the natural hard coating on the seeds. The plant embryo can start to grow and break through the seed coat as a tiny seedling. Thus, the seeds germinate more quickly.
A web of underground stems shows that quackgrass reproduces by vegetative reproduction instead of by seeds. Underground stems are called rhizomes.
