Question

Root hairs absorb water from the soil by the process of osmosis

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The root hairs take water from the soil by a process called osmosis. In osmosis, water molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. The concentration of the water molecules is lower in the root hair than in the soil. So the water moves into the root hairs through osmosis.
