Plants absorb water from their root hairs on the root via osmosis, it is then transported to other parts of the plant (through the nextwork of xylem vessels) through a combination of capiliary action and "transiprational pull"

A significant amount of water is given off by plants. Plants draw in water from the soil

through their roots. Eventually the water is given off through the leaves as water vapor in a process called transpiration.

By osmosis and this helps with active transport. The water moves from a low concentration to a high concentration along a concentration gradient.
