    There are three ways the water will reach the top of a tree

    Capillary action: water is attracted to the sides of small tubes and can pull its way up through the xylem vessels

    Root pressure: water absorbed by the plants in the roots pushes water up the xylem vessels

    Transpiration: water is attracted to itself, and so when water evaporates from the leaves at the top of the plant, water is further pulled up
