This is a "pulling theory." Water vapor is released out of the leaf's stomata . Water behind it replaces the water lost. Water molecules "stick together" by cohesive forces (cohesian tension) , thus a column of water rises up the xylem tissue of the stem.
The movement of sap (primarily downward) is an entirely different mechanism.
I think so, i just put a piece of wood in my fire, and sap started rising up on the top & burned pretty well.. and I'm pretty sure pine sap is flammable. I'm going to say yes, sap is flammable.
The function of nuclear sap is that it is the clear homogeneous ground substance of a cell nucleus.
It is a conifer. The sticky sap is actually resin.

Transpiration creates a negative pressure that helps pull water upward in the xylem vessels, playing a major role in the ascent of sap in plants. As water evaporates from the leaf surface during transpiration, it creates tension that helps to draw water molecules up from the roots. This process, known as the cohesion-tension theory, is essential for the movement of water and nutrients throughout the plant.
transpiration and ascent of sap
Ascent of xylem water is also known as the ascent of sap as sap contains minerals dissolved in water. Ascent of sap is actually the movement of sap from the roots all the way to the leaves where it can be utilized in photosynthesis. There are two prposed theories so as to exlain the ascent of sap. One is the "Root Pressure Theory" which says that root exerts a pressure on the water to push it upwards by absorbing more from the soil. But this pressure works only for a few metres. The second theory is more acceptable; "The transpiration Pull". According to this one, when water is transpired through the leaves, the evaporating water molecules pull the ones after them with the help of the adhesive and cohesive forces. This helps in the ascent of water from the roots, all the way through the xylem, to the leaves.
Plant sap and tree sap originate in the roots and then climb to nourish the leaves. We take advantage of this ascension in maple trees. When their sap begins to ascend in the Spring, we tap the trees and collect and boil the sap in the production of maple syrup. Vet59Man

I have no fricken idea!
Xylem tissue by ascent of sap
When the plant is placed in sunlight having sufficient water to absorb, it undergoes rapid transpiration and upward movement of water (ascent of sap). This phenomenon is slowed down in dark without water.
Osmotic absorption of water by root hairs and ascent of sap.
A plant can not have no stomata, some plants such as cacti have very little but still have some. Hypothetically if a plant had none it would die because plants need their stomata to take carbon dioxide in and let oxygen out.
Water enters the leaf through the roots and moves up through the stem to the leaves via the xylem vessels. Once in the leaf, water moves through the mesophyll cells and eventually evaporates from the stomata as water vapor during transpiration.
