What role does transpiration play in the transportation of water in a plant?

Open in App

Solution

Due to transpiration of water from the leaves, a suction pull is created, which pulls the water upwards from the roots. Due to this pull, water is forced to move upwards in trees through xylem tissue.
As water is released out during transpiration, more water is absorbed by the roots and thus rate of transportation of water increases.
