• In plants, minerals and water are transported through the xylem cells from soil to the leaves. The root cells obtain ions from the soil which creates a difference in the concentration of ions between the roots and soil. Thus, there is a continuous water movement into the xylem.

Answer 2

Root pressure can transport water and dissolved mineral nutrients from roots through the xylem to the tops to small heights. In taller plants, transpiration pull cause movement of water into roots from soil as well as its upward movement in plant body through xylem. Loss of water through stomata by the process of evaporation is called as transpiration. Transpiration pull drives absorption of water and minerals from root hairs and ascent of sap in xylem tissues.
