Question

Team JKSSB Mock Tests · Accepted Answer

Transpiration from stomata creates negative water potential in leaves, generating a tension (transpiration pull) that draws water upward through the xylem from roots. This cohesion-tension mechanism is the primary driver of water transport in tall trees. Root pressure and capillary action are minor forces.
