Question
How does movement and absorption of water take place through the roots?
✓
Answer
Osmosis is the process by which the movement and absorption of water take place through the roots. In this process water molecules move from a weaker solution to a stronger solution through a partially permeable membrane. It can also be defined as the movement of water molecules through a semipermeable membrane from an area of its higher concentration to an area of its lower concentration.
