Question

explain the mechanism of transportation of water in plants.​

Answer 1

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

Answer: 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.

Explanation: The bulk of water absorbed and transported through plants is moved by negative pressure generated by the evaporation of water from the leaves (i.e., transpiration) — this process is commonly referred to as the Cohesion-Tension (C-T) mechanism.
