OBJECTIVE FORESTRY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Final answer: Roots are the part of plants that absorb water and minerals from the soil.

Detailed explanation-3: -While plants can absorb water through their leaves, it is not a very efficient way for plants to take up water. If water condenses on the leaf during high humidity, such as fog, then plants can take in some of that surface water. The bulk of water uptake by most plants is via the roots.
