Thanks for asking the question.
If the cell sap of root hair contains high concentration of ions then more water will enter the root cells by endocytosis. This is because due to greater amount of ion the root cells become hypertonic with respect to the surrounding. Hence they absorb more water from the surroundings to become isotonic.
Hope it helps.

Answer:
The correct answer would be "the water will move from soil into the cell sap of root hair cells".
It can be explained with the help of osmosis.
Osmosis refers to the passive movement of water from the region of high concentration of salt or ions or any other solute to the region of low concentration of salt or ion or solute.
Similarly, the concentration of ions is high in the cell sap of root hairs, that is, it forms a hypertonic solution.
It results in the movement of water molecules from the soil (hypotonic region) into the cell sap.
