Describe the pathways AND mechanisms by which water passes from the soil to the xylem vessels in the root. (7 marks) As there is a higher water potential in the soil‚ and there is a lower water potential in the root hair cells‚ the water molecules move from the area of high potential to the area of low potential. From the soil into the roots. The process by which the molecules of water move into the root hair cells is ’osmosis’. This is a passive process‚ meaning that no energy (in the form of
