Question

why do we air free water in the potometer

Answer 1

Hey buddy I think it's helpful for you

If air gets into the xylem vessels of the plant, it canform air locks which willprevent the plant taking upwater and so prevent steady transpiration. 3 Thepotometers should be left for the leaves to dry. ... Thepotometer will not work properly until any excesswater on the leaves has evaporated or been removed.
