Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Guttation is the loss of water in solution form through hydathodes. It occurs under the influence of root pressure. When transpiration is low and plant absorbs water from well-watered soil under the influence of root pressure.

Detailed explanation-2: -The loss of water in the form of liquid through hydathodes is called guttation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process of exudation of sap on the tips or edges of leaves in plant is called guttation. It takes place only under certain conditions like cold and high relative humidity in the atmosphere. It occurs through the specialized structures called hydathodes.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is guttation? Guttation is the loss of water in the form of water droplets from hydathodes (small pores) on the leaf margin of a small herbacious plant. Water has the ability to rise up to 2 feet on its own through the xylem of the plant.
