Solution
Process whioch causes water in a plant to be pulled upwards through the xylem vessels from the roots to the leaves is transpiration.
Food is transported through phloem and in downward direction from leaves to the lower parts whereas water is transported through the xylem and in upward direction from root to the upper parts.
