name/content mismatch[edit]
Given the current content, shouldn't this be called "Absorption of water in plants"? If the name is to stand, the article should encompass information regarding absorption in animals, humans, sponges, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.67.176.129 (talk) 04:15, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
Just awful[edit]
This article is not only horribly written, but entirely unnecessary. It should be merged with [plant].

Very neccessary, but needs more on (either side of ) call wall absorbtion, of water FROM AIR...[edit]
(a little like water being 'sucked' out of you when you swim in the sea - general surface area, & UN-like specific organs/skin-areas like a fly tasting with it's "feet" , (although some plants also make the most of both (running water crevices, etc) )
I must disagree, a page on water absorbtion is very neccessary, ESPECIALLY when needed for teaching more than rediculously out of date concepts like that water is only absorbed by roots.
It is well established that plants absorb water through MULTIPLE methods, and depending on the plant and its ecology / rainfall, etc...
SOMETIMES MORE, from the air, than from rainfall.
That is critical to both land usage, and the science, of water absorbtion in plants...
it also has implications / relevance, when it comes to some pathogen-spread (sometimes things need leaf-/surface- -moisture to survive, BEFORE being carried by a insect/bird, etc )
as well as evolutionary developments, of types of structures/formations, within leaves / parts of, plants.
As it was when i visited it, this page has a LOT missing/absent.
Those claiming absorbtion through air is false, should be considered as possibly trying to advocate/perpetuate particular farming methods, and NOT interested, in the science/reality.
REW
Isn't that a semantic/terminology argument rather than a scientific one? lots of plants have 'air roots'. is it more accurate to say that plants can get water from mist - ie small water droplets suspended in the atmosphere rather than being in the ground? 86.148.15.222 (talk) 22:05, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
