Which properties of water are most responsible for the capillary action in plants?

Sagot :

Capillary action occurs because water is sticky, thanks to the forces of cohesion (water molecules like to stay close together) and adhesion (water molecules are attracted and stick to other substances)

Answer:

The property of "cohesion forces" of the water makes them responsible for the capillary action in the plants.

Explanation:

Water molecules in the soil get pulled into the plant through roots and travel over the vessels and tubes in the stem to various parts of the plant. Leave surface have small pores, named as stomata or guard cells that will help in transpiration or evaporation. This process of transpiration will help the ground water to travel opposite to the gravity and travel all parts of the plant body carrying minerals and essential food particles.
