Pathway of water absorbed by roots :

once the water enters the root hairs , the concentration of water molecules in the root hair cells because more than theat of the cortex , thus water from the root hair moves to the cortical cells by osmosis and then reaches the xylem . from there the water is transported to the stem and leaves .
