Parallel circuit are those types of circuits in which break in one branch does not prevent the flow of current in the circuit and the current can still flow through another branch because there are more ways through which the current moves to other sources while on the other hand, series circuit refers to those circuits in which break in one branch can prevent the current flow in the circuit and the other sources can't receive current due to broken of the connection.
Plants absorb water in a large amount because water is the only medium which is present in a plant for the transportation of minerals. So, the plant absorbs a lot of water even if it is lose by transpiration.
