Answer:
When transpiration takes place, the leaf cells become less turgid as they lose water in the process. This causes the entry of water into the cells from the veins through osmosis. The veins pull water from the stem, which in turn pulls water from the roots. This process is called transpiration pull. Transpiration pull works because water forms a continuous column in the xylem. This process is very much like drinking by using a straw.
