Define guttation.

Answer 1

Guttation:

1. A process in which water comes out of the margins or edges of a plant's leaves is known as guttation.
2. It usually takes place late at night.
3. When a plant's roots take water from the earth, the process of guttation takes place.
4. This causes pressure within the plant, and the water is driven out through hydathodes, which are pores found at the edges of the leaves.
