That it is saturated. ie there is more water in the soil than in the root cells. The water then diffuses into the cells because of the difference in pressure gradient between the two.
Don't quote me on this though it's been a while;
This was a biology question at a-level.

At "A" level - that the water potential of the soil solution is less negative than that of the root cells.
At "GCSE" - that the soil water (soil solution) is less concentrated than that inside the root cells.
