We divided into groups based on our swimming levels and prepared an experiment. We filled a container with half water and added 15 drops of food coloring. Then, we placed a healthy asparagus plant in the mixture and let it sit overnight. Unfortunately, our plant was quite dry and weak at first. However, by morning, it had grown taller and stronger. It absorbed about a quarter of the water, and we could clearly see where the water had traveled within the plant.
