Question

how are water and nutrients from the soil absorbed by the plants?illustrate the process of osmosis,transpiration and active transport to explain the concept

Answer 1

The absorption of water by plants is essential for various metabolic activities. Terrestrial plants get their water supply from soil which serves as the source of water and [minerals]. The way in which water from soil enters roots, particularly to the root xylem, is called "mechanism of water absorption". Both active and passive absorption have been proposed for mechanism of water absorption.This process is known as Conduction
