Answer» The process of movement of water in the plants through xylem and its evaporation through leaves or stem is known as transpiration. Transpiration supplies water for photosynthesis, cools the leaves surface through evaporation, and the transpirational pull helps in transportation of minerals from the roots to the leaves. But it never helps in the translocation of sugars. Translocation is the process of movement of food from the leaves to the different parts of the plant through phloem.
