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: -How water gets into plants. Plants absorb water from the soil by a process called osmosis – the natural movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration, across a semi-permeable, sieve-like membrane, to an area of low concentration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants have little pores (holes or openings) on the underside of their leaves, called stomata. Plants will absorb water through their roots and release water as vapor into the air through these stomata. To survive in drought conditions, plants need to decrease transpiration to limit their water loss.
