Detailed Solution

  • The xylem is a specialized vessel in plants that help in the transport of water from roots to other parts of the plant like stem and leaves. 
  • The flow of water in plants is always unidirectional because of the transpirational pull that occurs from the leaves.  Due to this transpirational pull, positive root pressure is created causing the flow of water in the direction opposite to the gravitational pull.
