The movement and absorption of nutrients and water in plants involve both Active transport and Passive transport . Active transport uses energy to move nutrients against their concentration gradient, while passive transport relies on natural diffusion. Assimilation pertains to how absorbed nutrients are utilized, not the transport processes.

The movement and absorption of nutrients and water in plants can be described by Active transport and Passive transport . Active transport requires energy, while passive transport relies on the natural movement of molecules. Assimilation refers to how plants use absorbed nutrients, rather than the transport processes themselves. ;
