Question

Water enters plants by

• A. osmosis
• B. guttation
  
• C. imbibition
• D. cohesive force

Answer 1

The correct option is A

osmosis

Plants absorb water from the soil by osmosis. Root hair cells have higher salt concentration as compared to the outside soil water. This causes osmosis to occur and the outside water moves into the root hair. From here, water moves to the adjoining cells and finally the xylem.
