Translocation

Horticulture expert Dr. Lelia Kelly defines the gardening term "Translocation".   Translocation is just movement throughout the plant.  Things are translocated usually through the vascular system of the plant like our arteries and veins.

Transpiration

Horticulture expert Dr. Lelia Kelly defines the gardening term "Transpiration".  A transpiration is kind of like perspiration for people.  It is the movement of moisture through a plant from the roots to the leaves and exiting through some cells in the leaves that are called somata and at that time they are water vapor.  Fruit even transpires.  It’s how the plant is trying to cool itself.
