Dear student,
All minerals can not be passively be absorbed by roots because
mineral ions are charged particles which can not cross the membrane
and the concentration of mineral ions in the soil is less than the
concentration of mineral ions in the roots due to which passive
movement is not possible it requires energy for movement
