Water molecules inside the xylem cells are strongly attracted to other water molecules. There is strong cohesion between the molecules because of hydrogen bonding

Transpiration is an unavoidable consequence of photosynthesis - only five per cent of the water taken up by the plant is used for photosynthesis - but
