Question

Plants do not use all the water they absorb. Most of it is lost by transpiration. Why then plants absorb more water than they need?

Answer 1

they stored water and use it

Answer 2

Explanation:

Plants absorb minerals and nutrients from the soil in liquid form through Osmosis so they have to absorb much water even to take up small quantities of these nutrients. The excess of water is of no use for the plant so it gets rid of it through transpiration.
