Do plants absorb salt the same way as water?

Salt water can have a harmful effect on plant growth by hindering the plant's ability to absorb water due to the unfavorable osmotic pressure induced in the root system. This is referred to as the water-deficit effect of salinity and results in the plant condition known as physiological drought. An excessive amount of salt entering the plant through the transpiration stream will also reduce growth by injuring leaf cells in a condition referred to as the ion-excess effect of salinity
