The uptake of water by the root hair is primarily due to the process of osmosis.
Exchange of gases in stomata
The exchange of respiratory gases through the stomata is through the process of diffusion.
Swelling of seed when put in the soil
Imbibition is the surface absorption of water that causes the swelling of the seed coat. Imbibition is the initial step in seed germination.
