Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How do water enter the roots from the soil?
A
diffusion
B
osmosis
C
transpiration
D
active transport
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Water enters root hair cells by osmosis. The root hair cell is hypertonic to the surrounding soil water. Water then moves from cell to cell through the root cortex by osmosis along a concentration gradient; this means that each cell is hypertonic to the one before it. More items

Detailed explanation-2: -The water is transported to the other cells in the root region by osmosis. The movements of water is through the root hairs to the cortical cells and then to the layer of endodermis is through the process of osmosis down the concentration gradient.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: Water enters the root hairs by the process of osmosis. Osmosis is the process by which the molecules of a solvent, such as water, move from a region of its higher concentration to a region of its lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane.
