Water is pulled from the soil into the plant roots via evaporation of water occurring in the leaf veins. The water and solutes in the water stick together, so where the water goes, the solutes will follow. The pressure from the evaporation pulls the water from the soil into the root hairs, into the xylem of the roots, into the xylem of the stem, into the xylem of the branches, into the xylem of the leaf veins, and out of the stomata. The plant uses only the water it needs, and pulls the solutes from the water.
