Which osmotic consequence results when mangrove roots encounter saltwater?

💡 Explanation

When salt concentration increases outside the root, the water potential gradient decreases; thus water flows out of the root cells due to osmosis. This restricts water transport, because reduced water and turgor pressure prevent proper transport rather than enhancing it.
