Back (Answer)

• Water adsorbs from the soil particles onto the root hairs. • Water diffuses from root hairs into root and makes it way to vacuole of epidermis. • Water moves from cell to cell across the cortex. • This pattern is repeated across the cortex until water enters xylem tissue. LO 3.3 - Transpiration
