Detailed Solution

Numerically osmotic potential is equal to osmotic pressure but has opposite sign. 

The water potential of pure water at standard temperature and no pressure is working over it is zero. 

Minerals present in the soil move across the cell membrane in active manner and some passively.

Movement of water is ultimately symplastic in root endodermis.
