Which process primarily drives the movement of water in plants?

Step 1: Understand that plants need water to survive and grow.
Step 2: Know that water is absorbed by the roots from the soil.
Step 3: Learn that water travels from the roots to the leaves through special tubes called xylem.
Step 4: Realize that when water evaporates from the leaves (this process is called transpiration), it creates a negative pressure.
Step 5: Understand that this negative pressure helps pull more water upward from the roots through the xylem.
Step 6: Conclude that transpiration is the main process that drives the movement of water in plants.
