Water is essential for all living organisms. It provides the medium for transporting solutes to various parts. In plants water is absorbed through roots. There are three methods for the transportation of water in plants. They are diffusion, root pressure and transpiration pull. Some of the plants are shorter, hence water can be translocated through diffusion and root pressure. But in order to transport them to longer distances, diffusion and root pressure are not enough. Diffusion is a very slow process and root pressure can’t uplift water to more heights. Hence, for long distance transportation of water, transpiration pull mechanism ... Read More
