The symplast of a plant is the inner side of the plasma membrane in which water and low-molecular-weight solutes can freely diffuse.
The apoplast is the space outside the plasma membrane within which material can diffuse freely.

The simple plant sitting in a pot on a window sill is occasionally watered by you. The process seems rather boring but you do not realize what amazing things start happening when you water that plant. It is a gravity defying feat which allows the water to even climb up a tree that is 30 stories high!
To understand how water is transported and absorbed in plants you must remember there are two types of plants: vascular(means something to do with a vessel) and non-vascular. Water uptake and absorption in both these plants differ. The table below shows the differences between these two types of plants.
There is a difference in the water transport of vascular and non-vascular plants. The process of transportation is much more developed in the vascular plants with specialized systems called xylem and phloem. The non-vascular plants do not have specialized cells so the process in inefficient.
