Solution

The correct option is D imbibition
Imbibition is the process by which the living or dead plant cells absorb water by surface attraction. Imbibition occurs due to the property of many biological substances, including cellulose, starch and some proteins to attract water molecules. Imbibition is the first step in the absorption of water by the roots and cells.
