**Guttation** is:
- Loss of water vapour from stomata
- Loss of water in liquid form through specialised structures called hydathodes (water stomata)
- Active uptake of water at root tips
- Photosynthetic by-product
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: B. Loss of water in liquid form through specialised structures called hydathodes (water stomata)
**Guttation:** liquid water exudes from hydathodes (modified stomata) at leaf margins/tips, typically at night when root pressure is high and transpiration low.
Often seen as morning droplets on grass.
