Question

what is imbibation?​

Answer 1

$\fbox \red{hey \: \: there \: \: bestie}$

the absorption of one substance by another, in particular the uptake of water by a plant or seed.

"the imbibition of water through the membrane"

Imbibition is a special type of diffusion that takes place when water is absorbed by solids-colloids causing an increase in volume. Water surface potential movement takes place along a concentration gradient; some dry materials absorb water. A gradient between the absorbent and the liquid is essential for imbibition.
