Answer: Is the water in the soil hypotonic to the plant cells so they can absorb water?
Step-by-step explanation: hypotonic solution is one that has a lower concentration of solute (in the soil in this case) in relation to the internal medium of the cell (plant cells).
That is, inside the cell there ir a greater amount of salt than is found in the soil.
Under these conditions, water diffuses into the cell, osmosis of liquid into the cell occurs.
All this means that plants will be able to absorb water, and this, along with other factors will give the plant the opportunity to mantain homeostasis in a particular enviroment.
