Step-by-step explanation:

The importance of marking the solvent level on the chromatography is -

Since ,

the solvents are volatile in nature and if they are not marked immediately , the solvent can get evaporated , and the exact level of the solvent would be lost , and hence ,

it will give an inaccurate data of the experiment .
