[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t see how a tree can soak up that much water. You don’t see the tree or leaves expand. Plus large tree can become a hazard. [/quote] Three ways: 1. Water release through the leaf stomata (the little holes in the leaves that also absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen) https://www.thoughtco.com/plant-stomata-function-4126012 2. Plant turgor, the water pressure inside the plant cell walls that allows them to be rigid--this is one reason leaves wilt when the plant doesn't get enough water. 3. Photosynthesis, which is how plants synthesize all plant tissue and the food other organisms eat: 6 CO2+ 6 H2O + light energy ---> C6H12O6 + 6 O2 That happens in all the green parts of a plant.
