Which outcome arises when root pressure becomes excessive in herbaceous plants?

💡 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.
