Explanation:
Water moves into the roots from the soil by osmosis, due to the low solute potential in the roots (lower Ψs in roots than in soil). This intake of water in the roots increases Ψp in the root xylem, driving water up. ... In the case of xylem, adhesion occurs between water molecules and the molecules of the xylem cell walls.
