Plants absorb most part of water needed by them through their
A
embryonic zone
B
growing point
C
root hairs
D
zone of elongation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Root hair cells Plants absorb water from the soil by osmosis. They absorb mineral ions by active transport, against the concentration gradient. Root hair cells are adapted for taking up water and mineral ions by having a large surface area to increase the rate of absorption.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because root hairs have an expanded structure, there is more surface area available for water absorption. Since root hair is hydrophilic and porous, it actively and passively takes water from the gaps between soil particles.

Detailed explanation-4: -So the water that is absorbed by The Roots reaches the leaves and this is used in the food production using producing the food for the plant by combining it with the carbon dioxide.
