Plants absorb water from the soil by osmosis. They absorb mineral ions by active transport, against the concentration gradient. Root hair cells are adapted for taking up water and mineral ions by having a large surface area to increase the rate of absorption.
Uptake occurs around the root tip, into epidermal cells with their associated root hairs and into cells in the outer layers of the root cortex.
