Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infiltration is the process by which water seeps into the soil and becomes groundwater. It is a crucial process in the water cycle and helps in replenishing the water table. Interception is the process by which plants intercept rainfall and store it on their leaves or stems, and transpiration is the process through which plants release water vapor into the atmosphere by their leaves. None of these processes describes the movement of water into the ground, which is infiltration.
