1-Water is passively transported into the roots and then into the xylem.

2-The forces of cohesion and adhesion cause the water molecules to form a column in the xylem.

3- Water moves from the xylem into the mesophyll cells, evaporates from their surfaces and leaves the plant by diffusion through the stomata.

Answer 2

The cohesion–tension theory of sap ascent is shown. Evaporation from the mesophyll cells produces a negative water potential gradient that causes water to move upwards from the roots through the xylem. ... Transpiration draws water from the leaf. Water potential decreases from the roots to the top of the plant.
