The concentration of solutes in most soil is lower than the concentration of solutes in root cells,so water enters the roots by:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration (dilute solution) to an area of low concentration (more concentrated solution) through a selectively permeable membrane. In this case, the solute concentration in the root cells is higher than that in the soil, so water moves into the root cells from the soil through osmosis.
