← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome arises when root pressure becomes excessive in herbaceous plants?
A)Guttation occurs on leaf tips✓
B)Transpiration rates significantly decrease
C)Xylem collapse limits water flow
D)Stomata close preventing photosynthesis
💡 Explanation
Guttation, the exudation of water droplets, results, because excess root pressure forces water out of leaf veins at hydathodes. Therefore guttation occurs, rather than xylem collapse because the plant releases pressure, not storing it.
