c. The monocot root is similar to a dicot root, but the center of the root is filled with pith. Osmosis.
\nSeveral processes work together to transport water from where a plant absorbs it (the roots) upward through the rest of its body. Water potential can be defined as the difference in potential energy between any given water sample and pure water (at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature). Some plants, like those that live in deserts, must routinely juggle between the competing demands of getting CO2 and not losing too much water. Water potential values for the water in a plant root, stem, or leaf are expressed relative to pure H2O. As various ions from the soil are actively transported into the vascular tissues of the roots, water flows and increases the pressure inside the xylem. Osmosis.
