Which outcome occurs when xylem conduits are severed?

💡 Explanation

The transpirational pull ceases above the break because the cohesion-tension mechanism depends on an unbroken water column from root to leaves; therefore, water transport stops above the break rather than strengthening or impacting root pressure.
