Diff between turgor pressure and root pressure

Ayush Gupta · Accepted Answer

Dear Student,

Turgor pressure is the pressure
of the cell contents against the cell wall in plant cells
In hypotonic solution, water diffuses into the cell and cells
enlarge and extension growth occurs As water diffuses in, cytoplasm
builds up a pressure against the cell wall This pressure is called
turgor pressure

Root pressure is a type of
positive hydrostatic pressure that is created by the cells of the
roots as a result of which the cell sap rises upward through the
stem
