Which outcome occurs when high soil salinity restricts osmosis?

💡 Explanation

When external salt concentration increases dramatically outside root cells, water exits the root via osmosis, leading to decrease in turgor that powers root pressure. Therefore, reduced root pressure occurs, rather than increased water transport, because the water potential gradient reverses under saline conditions.
