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.
There are three key processes involved when water is transported in plants: imbibition, diffusion and osmosis. All three processes are important for the plant to grow and it all starts with the seed.
