What role does root pressure play in water movement in plants?
Explanation The root pressure may be experimentally observed by cutting the stem of a water induced plant. The consequent oozing of water from the cut area reflects the presence of water in the plant. The root pressure is also measured through the phenomenon of guttation, where the loss of water is measured through the liquid droplets prevalent near the vein endings. This most commonly observed in certain herbaceous plants.
