Trees use a straw-like mechanism to pull water up to the tips. This pull is created by a phenomenon known as ______ .
Transpiration
Transpiration is the process of evaporation of water through tiny openings in leaves known as stomata. This evaporation creates a suction pull when you drink any fluid using a straw. This suction is strong enough to pull water high up to the tips of even the tallest of trees. Transpiration also helps in cooling the plants.
