Water is absorbed by roots and lost through leaves. How does this happen? |
|
Answer» Water is absorbed by the root of the plant but has to be transported to different parts of the plant like leaves and stem. It is done through xylem tissues. The flow of water and minerals in xylem is unidirectional that is from roots to leaves. The process of movement of water in the plants through xylem and its evaporation through leaves or stem is known as transpiration. It is done through stomata during the daytime. It is important as it creates a pull which is known as transpirational pull because of which the water moves from the roots to the leaves. |
