- Root Structure has a branching pattern, this increases SURFACE AREA and the ABSORBTION OF WATER.
- the Root has ROOT HAIR, contains of epidermal cells (surface)
- the ROOT HAIR activly concentrates minerals, inside the root. This encourages the take of water by OSMOSIS.
- OSMOSIS = dilute region -> concentrated region
- water then travels from the ROOT to the XYLEM also using OSMOSIS.

    so the active transport of the minerals leads to the osmosis of water
