HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Water moves up the xylem by a process called capillary action. Water molecules like to stick. together. In capillary action, water is pulled up through the tubes because very tiny components. of water, called molecules, are attracted to the molecules that make up the tube.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transpiration is a process that involves loss of water vapour through the stomata of plants. The loss of water vapour from the plant cools the plant down when the weather is very hot, and water from the stem and roots moves upwards or is ‘pulled’ into the leaves.
