### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Introduction to Water Absorption**: - Water absorption in plants primarily occurs through the roots. The root hairs, which are tiny, hair-like structures at the tips of the roots, play a crucial role in this process by increasing the surface area available for water absorption. 2. **Pathways of Water Movement**: - Once water is absorbed by the root hairs, it can move deeper into the soil and through the plant via two main pathways: the **Apoplast Pathway** and the **Symplast Pathway**. ...
