Answer;
Plants control solute concentration in their bodies by regulating uptake from the soil.

Step-by-step explanation;
Uptake of water from the roots is undertaken by process called osmosis. Solute concentrations increase going from soil to root cells to leaf cells. The resulting differences in osmotic pressure helps to push water upward in the plant. This helps the plant control solute concentrations.
