The leaves channel the water to the area at the edge of the leaves...this is where the most efficent water absorbing roots are, so they are getting more water by providing "shelter"....;

The neat thing about geometric optimization is that the optimum shapes are always a perfect square, circle, triangle, sphere, etc. depending on what shape you are working with. In this case, a perfect half sphere with a 8m radius would hold the most water for the given surface area.

Superhydrating....Skin has 3 layers. The bottom/lowest/innermost layer is attached to subcutaneous tissues and does not absorb water. The outermost layer absorbs water and when it "prunes" it swells causing the outermost layer to enlarge and wrinkle, while the innermost layer stays the same.

carbon fiber.\nit comes as a soft material rolled up like cloth, then they cut it and put it around a mould. It is hardened by putting it under a vacuum, and then in a huge autoclave which cooks the material. the result is strong yet light carbon-fiber

Basically by osmosis. The cell absorbs nutrients and oxygen through the cell wall from the blood circulating in the capillaries. The oxygen is absorbed by the body in an exchange in the lungs and nutrients are absorbed through the small and large intestine and they all travel in the blood stream to the cells.
