In plants, water supply is due to
osmosis
imbibition
guttation
adhesion force
D.
adhesion force
Adhesion force is the force between walls and water.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water from its pure or dilute solution into a stronger solution when the two are seperated by a semi- permeable membrane.
Imbibition is the absorption of water by the solid particles of an adsorbant without forming a solution.
Guttation is the loss of water in the form of liquid droplets from the leaves and other parts of an uninjured or intact plant.
