Water moves from an area of higher water potential (the soil) to an area of lower water potential (the root cells) through the process of osmosis.

Evaporation from the leaves creates a tension that pulls water up through the stem in a process called transpiration.

Stomata are small pores on the leaf surface that allow for gas exchange and regulate the rate of transpiration.

Transpiration is the process by which water vapor is lost from plant leaves through stomata.

The rate of transpiration is influenced by a combination of factors, including air temperature, humidity, light intensity, and wind speed.

Water moves from the xylem to the surrounding cells through the process of osmosis, driven by the difference in water potential.

Excessive water loss can lead to wilting, which is the drooping of plant leaves due to a lack of turgor pressure.

Guttation is the process by which plants lose water vapor through specialized structures called hydathodes, typically occurring at the leaf tips or margins.

Plants can reduce water loss through transpiration by closing stomata, which are small pores on the leaf surface that allow for gas exchange.

Transpiration is the process by which water moves through a plant from the roots to the leaves, driven by evaporation from the leaf surface.

Water stress in plants can lead to reduced growth, as water is essential for various physiological processes, including cell division and expansion.

Water potential is the term used to describe the potential energy of water in a plant, which is the sum of gravitational potential, matric potential, osmotic potential, and pressure potential.

Root hairs are specialized structures on the surface of plant roots that increase the surface area for water absorption.

Transpiration is the process by which water moves from the leaves to the atmosphere, driven by evaporation from the leaf surface.

Waterlogging in plants can lead to reduced oxygen availability in the root zone, which can hinder root growth and various physiological processes.
