it is a chemical change because a chemical change is when you take two things and you make it into something and it becomes a new form a physical change is where you just take one thing and it’s kind a like the same it is a chemical change because you’re taking the roots of a plant and a observing water to make a plant and when it makes a new plant it’s something new it’s a new form so it’s a chemical change

Outside the root hair, the concentration of dissolved salts is greater than inside, so osmosis forces the solution in. But evaporation at the stomata on the leaves causes a water deficit, so the water column moves up the plant.

This is why you should not 'over water' a plant, as then there will be a smaller osmosis force, and your plant will receive less of the nutritious salts.

chemical?//If the roots is absorbing water due to higher salt concentration then the process is not chemical but physical osmosis.
