The process by which water from the interface of cell wall and plasma membrane enters into the cytoplasm of root hair cell is ___________.

Step-by-step solution

Water from the soil first enters the cell wall of the root hair by imbibition and diffusion, as the cell wall is freely permeable. From the interface of the cell wall and the plasma membrane, water must cross the selectively permeable plasma membrane to enter the cytoplasm. The movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential is called osmosis. Therefore, water enters the cytoplasm of the root hair cell through osmosis. Answer: os
