Question
how do plants obtain water?
through their roots absorbing water stored in the soil
through the food they eat
drinking it
through their leaves absorbing water vapor from the air
rewatch
Plants absorb water mainly through their roots. The root system has root hairs that increase the surface area for water uptake from the soil. While some plants can absorb a small amount of water vapor through leaves (like in certain epiphytes), the primary source is soil - absorbed water via roots. Plants do not "eat" food in the traditional sense like animals (they produce their own food via photosynthesis), and "drinking" is a term more associated with animals.
