**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Osmosis:** - Osmosis is the process of movement of water molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. In plants, this process is crucial for maintaining cell turgor and overall health. 2. **Example 1: Absorption of Water by Roots:** - One of the primary examples of osmosis in plants is the absorption of water by the roots. When the soil has a higher concentration of water compared to the inside of the root cells, water moves into the root cells through osmosis. This process is essential for plants to acquire the water necessary for photosynthesis and nutrient transport. ...
