I recommend watching, I think it's one of the best veritasium Dereck has ever produced.

What it covers

Veritasium explains how trees lift water from roots to the top of tall trunks, using transpiration pull and the negative pressure that liquid water can sustain. It explains. It is for a general viewer who does not plan to take a prerequisite first.
