The movement of water through the root hair cells takes place via osmosis. The concentration of water in the roots is however greater than the concentration of water in the soil and thus the movement of molecules across the concentration gradient will require energy. thus the osmosis in plants is an active process.
Osmosis is defined as the passive transport of water. It is never active.
(i.e. if it's an active process then it's not called osmosis).
See Turgor pressure to confirm.

Is osmosis active or passive?
It is passive.
Is osmosis active or a passive transport?
Passive.
Is osmosis active trasport or passive trasport?
Osmosis is an example of Passive Transport.
Are diffusion and osmosis passive or active transports?
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
Is osmosis in passive or active transport?
Passive Transport, i think.
Why is osmosis an example of passive transport and not active transport?
passive transport does not require energy eg. diffusion and osmosis. Therefore, osmosis is a passive transport. Active transport requires energy eg. a molecule going from a low concentration from a high concentration.
Is diffusion and osmosis both active transport?
no they are passive transport
Is osmosis active or passive transport?
It is passive transport because the water flows from a more highly concentrated solution to a less concentrated solution.
Is diffusion and osmosis types of active tranport?
No they're both passive transport
What are two forms of passive transport of a cell?
Two forms of passive transport (or transport not involving energy/ATP) are diffusion and facilitated diffusion. Another form is osmosis. Also keep in mind that passive transport is for smaller particles.
What are the kinds of transports?
Active transportation and passive transportation (found in facilitated diffusion and osmosis)
Passive and active transport?
Active Transpot. -Pumps -Endocytosis -Exocytosis Passive Transport - Diffusion -osmosis -Facilitated Diffusion active requires energy passive doesnt. active against concentration gradient, passive along concentration gradient.
