Detailed explanation-1: -Water uptake and transport across the root They grow between soil particles and absorb water and minerals from the soil. Water enters the root hair cells by osmosis. This happens because soil water has a higher water potential than the cytoplasm of the root hair cell. Minerals enter by active transport .

Detailed explanation-2: -Therefore, the amount of water is much higher in the soil than inside of the cell, allowing the water to enter the root hair cell through the process of osmosis.
