Importance of root pressure

Importance: Root pressure can transport water and dissolved mineral nutrients from roots through the xylem to the tops of relatively short plants when transpiration is low or zero. Xylem vessels sometimes empty over winter. Root pressure may be important in refilling the xylem vessels.
hope it helps u!!

•Root pressure is a process which the plants use to absorb water and minerals stored in the soil.
•There are many xylem cells present in the root of the plant and these xylems are used to transport water and minerals stored in the soil.
•Xylem uses vessels and tracheid which is present inside it for the transportation purpose.
These water and minerals which is also known as ions get on to the plants as everything travels from high concentration ie, the soil on to the empty space inside the plant.
There are many ways by which plants allow to clear space for the water and minerals to enter from high concentration.
One of the main factor which enables it is evaporation.
•We all know that there are stomata pores present in the surface of the leaves. When these stomata pores open for the purpose of photosynthesis some amount of water are lost though it . Due to this there are space for the water to enter on to the plant. When evaporation happen leaves create a suction which pulls water from the xylem cells of root.
•Next is through transpiration, the loss of water from the aerial part of the plant is called transpiration. There are two benefits . It helps in forward movement of water and minerals dissolved in xylem cells from roots to the leaves. Second benefit is that, it helps in temperature regulation.
One of the main point to remember is that, during day stomata pores open and transpiration happen and during night xylem get water by the effect of root pressure.
