Nonpolar and small polar moleculescan pass through the cell membrane, so they diffuse across it in response to concentration gradients. Carbon dioxide and oxygen are two molecules that undergo this simple diffusion through the membrane. The simple diffusion of water is known as osmosis.
The process likely to be occurring in the plant's roots will be nitrogen fixation.
<h3>What is nitrogen fixation?</h3>
It is a process whereby atmospheric nitrogen is converted to usable forms of nitrogen in the soil.
Nitrogen fixation takes place in the root nodules of leguminous plants in association with some symbiotic bacteria.
Thus, the only process that could be happening in the plant's root is nitrogen fixation.

Answer:
Rate of photosynthesis will be increased
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is a process whereby plants manufacture their food (in form of carbohydrates) in the presence of sunlight. The photosynthetic process, which occurs in the chloroplast of plant cells, require carbon dioxide (CO2) as one of the reactants, from the atmosphere. The general photosynthetic equation is given below:
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
Based on the above equation, it shows that carbon dioxide (CO2) as a reactant can either increase or decrease the rate at which photosynthesis in plants occur depending on whether it is increased or decreased in the atmosphere respectively.
According to this question, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been increasing for many years. This means that the rate at which photosynthesis by plants occur will also be INCREASED.
