what is the advantage of root pressure in plants??????
Answers
Answer:
here is your answer mate...
Explanation:
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.

Answer:
Explanation:
Root pressure is not the main cause of movement of water in xylem but it is certainly one factor.
Root pressure is osmotic pressure within the cells of a root system that causes sap to rise through a plant stem to the leaves.
Root pressure develops due to the absorption of water by roots and pushes the water upwards by few meters and is enough to supply water to leaves in small plants and small trees. When a pressure in the xylem vessels develop that force the water upwards.
