Passive absorption:

1. Passive absorption is the process of diffusion of molecules from their higher concentration zone to the lower concentration zone via a semi-permeable membrane.
2. This process does not require energy.
3. Most of the absorption inside a plant occurs passively.

Approximately 98% of the water is absorbed by the plants through passive absorption.
