Question

how does Osmosis help roots to absorb water

Answer 1

Plants absorb water from the soil by osmosis. Root hair cells are adapted for this by having a large surface area to speed up osmosis. The absorbed water is transported through the roots to the rest of the plant where it is used for different purposes: ... It transports dissolved minerals around the plant.

Answer 2

Answer:

They absorb water by the process of osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules (solvent) from a lower concentration solution to a higher concentration solution through a semi permeable membrane. The concentration of the water molecules is lower in the root hair than in the soil.
