It is just a natural thing.
Transpiration is the loss of water vapor through leaves because of diffusion or evaporation. This means that the water in plants are always moving from wetter areas to drier ones, despite gravity. Xylem, a network of microscopic tubes, pull water from the roots to the leaves. As it pulls, the tension created by transpiration is strong enough to to pull the water up to five hundred feet.
Look up the transpiration-cohesion theory, that might help in your understanding.

Why do trees have grain?
trees have grain so that the water from the roots can go up to the top of the tree
What is the name for the top layer trees in the rain forest?
roots
By what three processes does water rise from the roots to the top of a tree?
Water travels from the roots to the top of a tree by the combination of 3 processes. One of these processes is "transpiration" which occurs when water vapor escapes from the stomata, or small openings on the lower surface of leaves. This creates a negative pressure near the top of the trees which results in a sucking action similar to what happens when one inhales through a straw. A second factor is "root pressure" which is the movement of water from the soil into the roots by osmosis. This causes a positive pressure in the roots which helps to "push" water into the plant. The third process is "capillary action" which is the upward movement of water in very, almost microscopically, thin tubes. The structures in plants that transport water are called xylem tubes and they have a very narrow diameter so capillary action will occur in them. These three processes acting together allow water to move against gravity to travel from the roots to the tops of tall trees and plants.
What are special kinds of roots that help tall trees stay upright called?
Special kinds of roots that help tall trees stay upright are called Buttress roots. These roots stick out at the base and on top of the ground. They are usually found on trees that are growing in nutrient poor soil. Buttress roots stabilize the tree.
How does tree move water from the roots to the top branch?
Trees transport water from the roots to the top branches primarily through a process called transpiration. As water evaporates from the leaves, it creates a negative pressure that pulls more water upward from the roots through specialized vessels called xylem. This movement is aided by capillary action and the cohesion and adhesion of water molecules. Together, these processes ensure a continuous flow of water, essential for the tree's growth and nutrient transport.
Why do Birch trees die suddenly?
They could be hit by disease, an insect borer, or the roots could lose their water source.
What are surface roots called?
Surface roots are commonly referred to as shallow roots. These roots typically grow close to the soil surface and can be more visible compared to deeper roots. They are responsible for nutrient and water absorption from the top layers of the soil.
What stops erosion?
Plantation of trees, vegetables stops soil erosion as the roots of the trees or vegetables hold onto the top soil and do not let it erode.
What are Quebec's top industries and top resources?
Water, Trees, Lumber.
How does water rise from the roots to the very top?
Water is absorbed by the roots through osmosis and moves up through xylem vessels in the stem via capillary action and transpiration pull. As water molecules evaporate from the leaves, they create a negative pressure that pulls more water up through the plant. This process is known as transpiration.
Why would replanting trees help reduce salinity?
By replanting trees, they can control the water levels in the ground (the source comes from a water table) to make the salt rise up and out of the ground and on top of the grass. And what this does is with rain, the salt dissolves and also kill weeds from the area surrounding the tree.
How does water rise to the top of a redwood tree?
adhesion of water to the wood and cohesion of water molecules
