How does water move from the soil into plant roots?
The water moves into root hair cells by osmosis, as there is a high concentration of minerals/sugars in the cells, and little water. This decreases the water potential inside the cell, so water molecules move down gradient into the cells. The water can then be moved by xylem in the transpiration stream through the plant and out of it's leaves.
