Know the Answer?

Shea Newman · Answer 1

C because the sponge will take up the water through absorption which is how plants pull water up

Avah Marshall · Answer 2

The correct answer will be option-C.

Explanation:

The water moves from the ground to the top of the plants against the force of gravity in xylem tracheids and vessels. The physical force that acts on the upward movement of water is the "capillary action".

In the given questions the demonstration of the upward movement of the water can be demonstrated by the placing a sponge in colored water as. When the sponge will be placed in colored water the water will move upward through capillary action which will be easily observed as the water is colored.

Thus, option - C is the correct answer.
