Question

Name the process by which root hair absorbs water from the soil.

Answer 1

1. Osmosis is the process by which root hair absorbs water from the soil.
2. Root hairs are the extensions of epidermal cells that increase the surface area of cells for more absorption.
3. Osmosis can be defined as the process of movement of solvent molecules from higher water potential to lower water potential across a semi-permeable membrane that separates the solution from its solvent.
