The primary reason for guttation in plants is the force exerted by root pressure. At night, when root pressure increases, water droplets are released through specialized structures known as hydathodes, facilitating guttation.

Question

Accepted Answer

Correct. Guttation occurs due to root pressure, which is prominent at night when transpiration is minimal. Hydathodes are specialized structures that facilitate the release of water droplets during guttation.
