What is osmotic potential?
Osmotic potential is defined as the ability of a solution to suck water in if it was separated from another solution by a semi-permeable (meaning water gets through, but not the solution) membrane. This means that if you have pure water next to salt water, separated by such a membrane, the pure water would run over to the saltwater, while the water in the saltwater would stay where it is. Water, then, always moves towards a higher concentration, from high pressure to low pressure. This is also how trees get water from the roots up to the canopy, as they don't have beating heart like we do. The plants use their osmotic potential to transport water through the cells from the bottom (roots) where the osmotic pressure is high, to the top (canopy) where the osmotic pressure is low. As the water is transported up, the osmotic pressure in the roots sinks, allowing more water to run in from the soil.

yep!
ability of a medium to attract water molecules is known as osmotic potential. you may also label it as osmotic potential. at a time a system has more water potential and low solute potential and vice versa.
Matric potential is the sum of: Osmotic Potential(φs) + Hydrostatic Pressure(φp). Matric potential useful because there are some situations where it is difficult to distinguish between the measurements of Osmotic Potential(φs) and Hydrostatic Pressure(φp).
It maintains the osmotic potential of the cell
no. all things being equal and if the nutrients in the soil did not interact with the distilled water then distilled water has a lower osmotic potential than the cell sap in the roots; this would result in reverse osmosis from the roots (higher osmotic potential) to the soil (lower osmotic potential).
To take note of osmotic potential of cells in that root
Iso-osmotic or isosmotic
definition of nuclear potential
The word equaltonic can be used interchangeably with isotonic. The definition is a solution having the same osmotic pressure as another solution.
Because it perfoms absorption of water regulated by its osmotic potential
To maintain high osmotic potential
by its roots
