Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What type of transport is used to move water from the soil to the root hair cells in a plant?
A
Active transport
B
Diffusion
C
Osmosis
D
None of the options
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hence, water moves from the soil to the root hair cells by the process of osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of low concentration to high concentration through a semipermeable membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -The root hairs take water from the soil by a process called osmosis. In osmosis, water molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. The concentration of the water molecules is lower in the root hair than in the soil.

Detailed explanation-3: -Osmosis is a process in which water molecules diffuse through a semipermeable membrane from more dilute solution to less dilute solution. Root hairs are highly osmotic than soil. So, water easily enters in the roots.

Detailed explanation-4: -The process by which water enters the root hair cell is called as osmosis. Due to the semipermeability and low potential of water, water enters into root hair through osmosis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Transpiration Keeps the Water Moving In plants, water enters the root cells by osmosis and moves into tubes called xylem vessels to be transported to the leaves. Water molecules inside the xylem cells are strongly attracted to each other because of hydrogen bonding (this is called cohesion).
