Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water absorption by roots occurs due to the concentration gradient between the soil and the root. Water moves from an area of high concentration (the soil) to an area of low concentration (the root) through the process of osmosis. Abscisic acid, cohesion-tension, active transport, and the potassium pump may play a role in water transport within the plant, but they are not the primary factors affecting water absorption from the soil.
