How do water enter the roots from the soil?
A
diffusion
B
osmosis
C
transpiration
D
active transport
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. So the water moves into the root hairs through osmosis.

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.
