Solution

GuttationBleeding
The leaves of certain plants exhibit droplets of water along their margins in the morning. This particular happens in plants growing in warm humid conditions.

Water escapes from specialized structures called hydathodes.

This happens only due to injury. The plant sap escapes from the ruptured or cuts surfaces of a plant. The root pressure generated by a plant assists in bleeding.
