Question

Assertion : Plant roots use capillary water.
Reason: Capillary water is not affected by gravitational force.

Answer 1

Water has a high tensile strength, that is, the ability to resist pulling force and also capillarity effect, that is, the ability to rise in capillary narrow tubes.

In plants, capillarity effect is added by the small diameter of elements are the tracheids and vessel elements.

The capillary water is not affected by the gravitational force as to water in capillary tubes rises due to cohesion adhesion and surface tension.
