Water relations in plants mainly involve the movement of water due to differences in:
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Osmotic potential
Water movement in plant cells occurs due to differences in osmotic potential across membranes. This governs processes like osmosis, plasmolysis, and turgor maintenance.
