Text SolutionText solutionverified iconVerified

Osmosis is defined as the movement of solvent or water along the concentration gradient across living semi permeable membrane. Osmosis is thus a physiological process. Xylary elements (vessels and tracheids) are non living and hence water movement through them is a physical process. Movement of water in xylem occurs due to physical forces, like suction pull and surface tension as in case of capillary rise of liquid.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
