    • Transpiration -> the loss of water vapour from leaves
    • Transpiration -> the flow of water into the root, up the stem and out of the leaves
  • How water moves up the stem?
    Water moves up the plant through the xylem via capillary action. This is ability of water moving against gravity , due to strong adhesion and cohesion between water molecules
    Adhesion = water molecules stick to the wall pof the xylem
    Cohension = water molecules stick to one another
