Best Answer

Water enters the root cells by osmosis and enters into the xylem. The pressure of water entering the xylem creates osmotic pressure, pushing the column of water up through the stem. Water evaporating on the surface of the leaf cells pulls on other molecules and pulls the column of water up the plant and into the leaves.

The plant obtains water (H2O) from the soil, the water molecules then go into the root cells, through the vascular tissue in the stem, and to the leaves.
