Guttation is the exudation of drops of xylem sap on the tips or edges of leaves of some vascular plants, such as grasses, and a number of fungi. Guttation is not to be confused with dew, which condenses from the atmosphere onto the plant surface.

Hope it helps you.

Hi beautiful

It may be easy to look at a plant and assume that it works simply. The plant takes in water and uses photosynthesis to grow. While this is true, plants also have a secret life where their survival depends on the balance of water and nutrients. One way that plants can balance the amount of water they take in is by a process called guttation.

Guttation is when water is secreted from the tips of the leaves of plants. Guttation happens in certain plants that have vascular systems, such as grass, wheat, barley, tomatoes, strawberries, and other small plants. Since guttation relies on pressure, it can't occur in large plants, such as trees, because the pressure required to force the water out is too large.
