The osmotic pressure.
Explanation:
The osmotic pressure.
Osmosis is a process in which the water molecules passes through a membrane from high concentration of water to lower concentration.
The soil has a higher concentration of water than root cells, so the water molecules travels from soil to the roots. Now, roots filled with water molecules and have a higher concentration of water than stem cells, so water molecules travel from roots through stem cells and into leaves as water travels upward into the empty cells above. This process is called transpiration.
Capillary action allows water to travel from the roots of the plant upwards to the top part of the plant.
Explanation:
Adhesion, surface tension and cohesion all play a part in allowing liquid to flow against gravity in capillary action.
