DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The plants absorb water from the soil with the help of root hair through osmosis. The diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane is called osmosis. Root hair absorbs water from soil through osmosis. Water will be absorbed by root hairs by osmosis as the environment in the soil is hypotonic.

Detailed explanation-2: -How do plants take in nutrients and when do they need them? Once mineral nutrients are dissolved in soil water, they move into root cells by osmosis – the natural movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Roots support the tree and absorb water and nutrients. They transport these liquids through tiny tubes that run all the way up the stem to the leaves.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tree roots anchor the tree in the soil, keeping it straight and stable, and absorb water from the soil. Tree roots also take nutrients and chemicals out of the soil and use them to produce what they need for the tree’s growth, development, and repair.
