Question

what is root pressure? how it is used to plants

Answer 1

is it helpful?
if yes :)
thn mark it as brainliest plz!

root pressure  is defined as the  the transverse osmotic pressure within the cells of a root system that causes sap to rise through a plant stem to the leaves.
root pressure is caused by this accumulation of water in the xylem pushing on the rigid cells. Root pressure provides a force, which pushes water up the stem, but it is not enough to account for the movement of water to leaves at the top of the tallest trees.

Answer 2

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. It is partially responsible for the rise of water in plants.The root-pressure hypothesis of saprise holds that pressures in trees are several times atmospheric pressure, not nearly enough to transport water to the top of the tallest trees. Furthermore, root pressures tend to be lowest when water loss from leaves (transpiration) is highest, exactly when trees most need water.

The lifting force generated by evaporation and transpiration of water from the leaves and the cohesive and adhesive forces of molecules in the vessels, and possibly other factors, all contribute to the rise of sap in plants.
