what does water do for trees
How Trees Absorb Water: Water enters a tree through roots by osmosis and any dissolved mineral nutrients travel with it upward through the xylem (using capillary action) and into the leaves.These nutrients feed the tree through the process of leaf photosynethisis.he pressure difference lifts the water to the leaves. Ninety percent of tree water is eventually dispersed from leaf stomata, through evaporation, into the atmosphere. That beneficial loss of water from plants is called transpiration.
