The upward movement of water and minerals in a plant through the xylem is called the ascent of sap.
- The translocation process of water through the xylem tissue is called the ascent of sap.
- It is an upward movement since water and minerals are transported from the roots to different parts of the plant through the stem.
- Plants always absorb the excess amount of water and this creates pressure within the roots, as a result of which this upward transportation occurs.
- Along with it, the capillary action is also a reason for the ascent of sap because of the cohesive force between water molecules and the adhesive force between xylem walls and water molecules.
