Detailed explanation-1: -In symplastic pathway, water enters cells through plasmodesmata and travels through the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-2: -In symplast pathway, water passes from cell to cell through their protoplasm. It does not enter cell vacuoles. The cytoplasm of the adjacent cells are connected through plasmodesmata. Symplastic movement is aided by cytoplasmic streaming of individual cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the symplast pathway (symplastic route), water passes from cytoplasm to cytoplasm through plasmodesmata (Figure 17.1. 4. 4). In the transmembrane pathway, water crosses plasma membranes, entering and exiting each cell.
