Question

The water absorption in plants is enhanced by

• A. increased in transpiration
• B. decreased in transpiration
• C. decreased in salt absorption
• D. increased photosynthesis

Answer 1

The correct option is A increased in transpiration

Transpiration is the evaporative loss of water by plants mainly through the stomata in the leaves. It is the process that is responsible for the movement of water in plants. When there is an increase in transpiration, there will be greater transpiration pull generated in plants leading to increase in water absorption by roots.
