    Transpiration facilitates

    A)  electrolyte balance

    B)  opening of stomata

    C)  absorption of water by roots

    D)  excretion of minerals

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

The forces of adhesion and cohesion maintain an unbroken column of water. Thus, transpiration facilitates absorption of water by roots.
