I'm pretty sure that it's been proven that root pressure has very little to do with water movement in plants. Water moves up because it's constantly evaporating from the leaves and so it get sucked upwards (not pushed upwards). That is called transpiration.

What is Geo-Tropism?

Geotropism is a plant growth or movement in response to gravity. Upward growth of the plant's parts against gravity is called negative geotropism, whilst downward growth of roots is called positive geotropism.


What property of water makes it move upward from the roots?

because of water's cohesion property, which is its ability to stick to itself and it adhesion property, which mean that water can stick to other material, it can travel upward in a plant. also, the plant's tube is very small, which allow water to overcome gravity and travel upward.


What is the difference between plant in sun with water and the plant in dark without water?

When the plant is placed in sunlight having sufficient water to absorb, it undergoes rapid transpiration and upward movement of water (ascent of sap). This phenomenon is slowed down in dark without water.
