Hey
Every living cell acts as an osmotic system where the cytoplasm acts as the semipermeable membrane.
The soil water is an extremely dilute solution of salts. Soil water concentration is more dilute than that of cell sap in the root hair.
Thus the water passes from the soil into the cell sap of the root hair.
This water makes the concentration of the cell sap more dilute than the neighbouring cell. The water moves on to the other cells.
This process goes on until the water reaches the xylem vessels.
As this process involves a number of root hair and root cells, a pressure is formed in the xylem vessels which moves the water upwards. This pressure is called the root pressure.

⏺heya friend !
❇ here's your answer :-

✔ROOT PRESSURE :-
➡the pressure exerted by the continuous inflow of water or movement of water in the root hairs is known as root pressure.
➡it is very significant as it helps in the accent of sap and also movement of water so that it can be transported all inside the plant.
