Pine needles absorb water primarily through their surface, which is covered in a waxy cuticle that minimizes water loss but allows for some absorption. They can also take up moisture from the air through tiny openings called stomata, which facilitate gas exchange and can capture water vapor during humid conditions. Additionally, pine needles can absorb water through capillary action when rain or dew forms on their surfaces.
