Answer

The three processes by which plants absorb water and minerals from the soil are:

  1. Osmosis — Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from their region of higher concentration (dilute solution or with a lower solute concentration) to their region of lower concentration (concentrated solution or with a higher solute concentration) through a semi permeable membrane.
  2. Diffusion — The movement of molecules (gas, liquid or solid) from higher concentration to lower concentration is called diffusion.
  3. Active transport — The movement of molecules from their lower concentration to a higher concentration by using energy is called Active transport.
