Paheli noticed water being pulled up by a motor-pump to an overhead tank of a five-storeyed building. She wondered how water moves up to great heights in the tall trees standing next to the building. Can you tell why?

Hint: Transpiration generates a “suction pull” which draws water up the tall trees.
