How do the bamboo leaves at the top of the plant get the water they need from the bamboo roots?

Bamboo leaves at the top of the plant receive water through a system of xylem tissue that transports water and nutrients from the roots upward. When the roots absorb water from the soil, it travels through the xylem, reaching the leaves via capillary action and transpiration pull. The process of transpiration, where water evaporates from the leaves, creates a negative pressure that helps draw more water up from the roots, ensuring the leaves stay hydrated.
