Question

What is root pressure ? How can you prove that root pressure helps in conduction of water ?​

Answer 1

• Answer:
• Root pressure, in plants, force that helps to drive fluids upward into the water-conducting vessels (xylem). It is primarily generated by osmotic pressure in the cells of the roots and can be demonstrated by exudation of fluid when the stem is cut off just aboveground.

tree: absorption, cohesion and transpiration of water

Water diffusing into the roots from the surrounding soil rises through the trunk and the branches of the tree before transpiring through the leaves.
