The magnitude of root pressure ranges from

  • 2-5 atm

  • 0.1-0.2 atm

  • 1-5 atm

  • 4-6 atm


C.

1-5 atm

The term root pressure was coined by Stephen Hales (1727). The evidences that support the existence of this phenomenon are bleeding and guttation. The magnitude of root pressure is 1-2 atm and very rarely 5 atm.
