NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Water gets pulled by the roots due to the negative water potential in the root cells. In lower plants, the water absorption takes place by the process of osmosis, while in higher plants, it is by the root hairs. Plants mainly absorb the capillary water from the soil.

Detailed explanation-2: -Essentially all of the water used by land plants is absorbed from the soil by roots. A root system consists of a complex network of individual roots that vary in age along their length.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stems carry water and nutrients taken up by the roots to the leaves. Then the food produced by the leaves moves to other parts of the plant. The cells that do this work are called the xylem cells. They move water.
