Guttation
The exudation of drops of water from the pores of plants, usually at the tips or edges of leaves, due to root pressure in a humid environment.
Transpiration
Transpiration is the process by which water vapor is lost from plants to the atmosphere, mainly through the stomata in leaves.
Root Pressure
The pressure in xylem sap that occurs as a result of the active absorption of mineral ions followed by the osmotic uptake of water into roots from the soil.
