Transpiration is the evaporation of water from the aerial parts of plants including leaves, stems, and flowers. The mass flow of water from the roots to the leaves is driven partially by capillary action; however, it is primarily driven by water potential differences. Tall plants are also able to overcome gravity by decreasing the hydrostatic water pressure via the diffusion of water out of the stomata.
