Transpiration from the leaves is the major force driving the transfer of water into the cells of the root from the soil. The roots also use its high concentration of solutes to transfer water in by osmosis. If to much nutrients were added to the soil, that is increasing the solutes in the soil, the water would be transfered from the root cells to the soil. By this the roots may instead experience a water loss and the plant may die from dehydration.
