Solution

The correct option is A Root
Plants absorb water from the soil by osmosis. Root hair cells are adapted for this by having a large surface area to speed up osmosis. The absorbed water is transported through the roots to the rest of the plant where it is used for different purposes. Water is not mainly absorbed by stem or seeds.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
