Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Guttation is the loss of water in the form of water droplets from hydathodes (small pores) on the leaf margin of a small herbaceous plant. Guttation is not to be confused with dew, which condenses from the atmosphere onto the plant surface.
Detailed explanation-2: -Root pressure can result in the loss of liquid water from the leaves during times of low transpiration. This process is called guttation and specialized structures (hydathodes) in the leaves are involved.
