At the roots, cells in contact with the soil actively take up ions., which are only present in small quantities.
This creates a difference in the concentration of these ions between the root and the soil.
Water, therefore, moves into the root from the soil to eliminate this difference. This means that there is a steady movement of water into the root xylem, creating a column of water that is steadily pushed upwards.
The excess water absorbed is removed by the process of transpiration.
