Which mechanism causes water ascent when guttation occurs in strawberry plant roots?

💡 Explanation

Transpiration is negligible during guttation; root pressure accumulates ions causing osmosis, therefore forcing water into the xylem. The mechanism is root pressure, which pushes water up, rather than cohesion-tension, where transpiration pulls water column.
