Plants living in a salt-marsh ecosystem regularly encounter conditions of high salt concentration.many of

Question

these plants have root cells with a very high solute concentration and this enables them to survive in this ecosystem.please explain how.

Answer 1

If the root cells have high solute concentration then this means that the water potential is lower and since water moves by osmosis moves from regions of high water potential to regions of lower water potential the plant will not lose water to the outside by osmosis.
