Question
Biology Question on The Root
Root hair absorbed water from the soil on account of
A
turgor pressure
B
osmotic pressure
C
suction pressure
D
root pressure
Answer
osmotic pressure
Explanation
Solution
Osmosis is the movement of water or solvent from a solution of its higher concentration (dilute solution) to a solution of its lower concentration (concentrated solution). The concentration of water in soil is higher and in root hairs is lower. So water will move from soil to root hairs on account of osmotic pressure.
