Question

Seedlings emerge out of the soil into open surroundings due to imbibition.

(a) True

(b) False

I had been asked this question in my homework.

I want to ask this question from Plant-Water Relations-2 topic in section Transport in Plants of Biology – Class 11

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) True

For explanation: Imbibition is a special type of diffusion which helps solids absorb moisture resulting in increase in volume. In the same way, it provides the required pressure for emergence out of the soil to the tiny seedlings.
