This occurs by both Cytoplasmic Diffusion and also sometimes by an Active Transport bio-mechanism.
diffusion
Plants absorb minerals through their roots. The process involves both active transport, which requires energy, and passive transport, which occurs through diffusion. The minerals are then transported within the plant through vascular tissues like xylem and phloem.
Active transport is the primary mechanism through which phloem absorbs minerals from the soil. Diffusion is not as efficient for transporting minerals over long distances within plants. Active transport allows phloem to selectively uptake specific minerals against their concentration gradient to ensure proper nutrient balance in the plant.
There are many forms of membrane and cell transport. These are the basic transport mechanisms in a prokaryotic animal cell.

No. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport.

Active transport allows phloem to selectively uptake specific minerals against their concentration gradient to ensure proper nutrient balance in the plant.
Facilitated diffusion, or diffusion through ion channels, is not a form of active transport. It is a spontaneous passive transport.
