Correct Answer: osmotic pressure


Solution : The correct option is osmotic pressure .

Plants root hairs get water from the soil through a process known as "osmosis." The pressure applied through this process is the osmotic pressure. Osmosis is the process by which water molecules pass across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of greater solute concentration.
