Vedclass · Answer

(A) Foliar absorption (water uptake through leaves) is a phenomenon observed in certain plants. In such cases,young leaves possess a thinner cuticle and more active metabolic processes compared to older,fully matured leaves. Consequently,the permeability and the rate of water absorption are significantly higher in young leaves,making them more efficient at absorbing water than older leaves.
