  2. Rhizoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizoid

    In water or near it, plants could absorb water from their surroundings, with no need for any special absorbing organ or tissue. Additionally, in the primitive states of plant development, tissue differentiation and division of labor were minimal, thus specialized water-absorbing tissue was not required.

  3. Fogponics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fogponics

    Fogponics uses a suspension of nutrient enriched water to deliver nutrients and oxygen to plant roots. This is in contrast to geoponics and organoponics which use soil and organic materials as the primary source of nutrients (as well as the growth medium), and 'traditional' hydroponics , which uses a submersion of nutrient enriched water as the ...

    A halophyte is a salt-tolerant plant that grows in soil or waters of high salinity, coming into contact with saline water through its roots or by salt spray, such as in saline semi-deserts, mangrove swamps, marshes and sloughs, and seashores. The word derives from Ancient Greek ἅλας (halas) 'salt' and φυτόν (phyton) 'plant'.

  7. Absorption of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_of_water

    Absorption of water-Plants generally absorb capillary water from the soil through their roots. The diffusion pressure deficit in a cell of a leaf is developed because of transpiration then water from the adjacent cell moves towards the cell in the same way diffusion pressure deficit is developed in the second cell and water moves to it from the ...

  8. Hygrophyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygrophyte

    Plants that are hydrophytes (aquatic plants) live within aquatic environments including lakes, streams, ponds, and oceans. While plants that are hygrophytes grow on wet soils, [ 4 ] both types of plants are adapted to growing in soils that are low-oxygen (anaerobic) environments where there is extended periods of water saturation or flooding.

  9. Root hair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_hair

    Root hairs form an important surface as they are needed to absorb most of the water and nutrients needed for the plant. They are also directly involved in the formation of root nodules in legume plants. The root hairs curl around the bacteria, which allows for the formation of an infection thread into the dividing cortical cells to form the nodule.
