Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D root pressure
Absorption of minerals by the epidermal cells of root and root hair causes the water to enter from surrounding soil into roots. It further reaches the root xylem. Thus, due to a continuous uptake of water by root cells, a water pressure is created in the root xylem. This pressure is called as root pressure.
