You are presented with the question "How does a seed gain water in order to produce a root?" and the following answer choices: 
- lapping
 - watershred
 - spring
 - quenching
 - osmosis
 - wind
 - reverse osmosis
 - Regrows it

Now knowing that the force of water against the seed coat causes a root to emerge from a seed and instead, trees use a method called osmosis to force water upwards, choose the best answer.
