DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A. While plants can absorb water through their leaves, it is not a very efficient way for plants to take up water. If water condenses on the leaf during high humidity, such as fog, then plants can take in some of that surface water. The bulk of water uptake by most plants is via the roots.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants also need water for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is what plants do to create their food, and water is critical to this process. Water enters a plant’s stem and travels up to its leaves, which is where photosynthesis actually takes place.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct option is A True. Water and mineral uptake by roots: Water absorption by roots occurs through the process of osmosis. When root hairs come in contact with soil, water moves from the soil into the root hairs due to the difference in water potential.
