Study Notes
Plant Water Absorption
- The primary process by which plants absorb water is through a process called osmosis, where water moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
Transpiration
- Transpiration is the term for the loss of water vapor from the aerial parts of a plant, especially through the stomata, which are small openings on the surface of leaves.
Root Hairs
- Root hairs are the structures in plants responsible for the majority of water uptake, increasing the surface area of the root system and allowing for more efficient absorption of water and nutrients.
