Answer 2

The water is first absorbed from the soil by the roots of the trees, from there it passes through the stems moving upwards reaching the leaves and flowers, where the water changes to a gaseous state when evaporated; Then the water vapor becomes rain, which mostly falls to the ground and a part reaches the subsoil, becoming underground water, where it is absorbed again by the plants.
