Answer:

water in the soil is absorbed by the root hair cells through osmosis.

it is then taken up the xylem vessels by the cohesion and adhesion forces.

the water reaches the leaf's mesophyll cells and is used in photosynthesis

Answer:

THE WATER FROM THE SOIL IS ABSORBED BY THE ROOT HAIRS BY THE PROCESS OF OSMOSIS THEN FROM ROOT HAIRS THE WATER MOVES TILL ENDODERMIS AND THEN IT IS SENT TO XYLEM.

THE FUNCTION OF XYLEM IS TO TRANSPORT WATER AND MINERALS FROM ROOT TO OTHER PARTS OF PLANT .

SO THE WATER MOLECULES REACH THE LEAVES AND THIS WATER MOLECULES HELPS IN PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
