**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Conditions**: The question specifies two conditions: high root pressure and low transpiration. Root pressure is the pressure exerted in the roots of plants, which can push water upwards through the plant. Transpiration is the process of water vapor loss from the plant, primarily through stomata. 2. **Identifying the Process**: When root pressure is high, it indicates that the plant is absorbing a lot of water from the soil. If transpiration is low, it means that the plant is not losing much water through evaporation. Under these conditions, the plant may need to release excess water to maintain homeostasis. 3. **Defining Guttation**: The process that occurs under these conditions is called "guttation." Guttation is the exudation of water droplets from the edges or tips of leaves, which happens through specialized structures known as hydathodes. ...
