Water moves from soil to root hair cells by osmosis because soil water has low mineral concentration (high water potential), while root hair cells' cytoplasm and vacuolar sap have many solutes (low water potential).
El agua se mueve del suelo a las células de los pelos radiculares por ósmosis porque el agua del suelo tiene una concentración baja de minerales (alto potencial hídrico), mientras que el citoplasma y la savia vacuolar de las células de los pelos radiculares tienen muchos solutos (bajo potencial hídrico).
