| Q. |
Plants get water through the roots because of — |
| A. | elasticity |
| B. | capillarity |
| C. | viscosity |
| D. | photosynthesis |
| Answer» B. capillarity | |
|
Explanation: Plants absorb water from their root hairs on the root via osmosis. It is then transported to other parts of the plant (through the network of xylem vessels) through a combination of capillary action and "transiprational pull." Water moves through the plant by means of capillary action. |
