Three factors that influence the flow of sap through a plant include diffusion, transpiration and capillary action. Water transport occurs in a plant's xylem tissue.

Hey! Here is ur answer...
Factors for this are :-
1) Diffusion -
Water enters the roots through diffusion or osmosis. The root has a higher salt concentration on the plant side of the membrane than in the soil. Water flows from the low salt side to the high salt side trying to make the salt concentration equal.
2) Transpiration -
Another component of water movement throughout the plant involves transpiration. Plants lose water through the leaf surface primarily from the stomata, or pores in the leaf surface used for respiration and photosynthesis.
3) Capillary Action -
Xylem depends on the chemical properties of water. Equally important is the small diameter of the xylem. Water molecules have a strong attraction to each other causing the molecules to stick together.
