Explain the significance of capillarity in plants.

(N/A) Capillarity is the ability of water to rise in thin tubes due to surface tension and adhesion-cohesion forces.
In plants,water possesses high tensile strength,which is the ability to resist a pulling force,and high capillarity,which is the ability to rise in thin tubes.
This capillarity is significant in plants as it facilitates the upward movement of water through narrow conducting elements like tracheids and vessel elements in the xylem.
