There are of course plants that absorb significant amounts of water through their leaves, but I would not rely on them to dehumidify a room with a condensation problem. There are very few utilities that are bright enough to keep plants happy anyway. There is a list here https://balconygardenweb.com/best-plants-that-reduce-humidity-indoors/ but as I say, I would be looking at the cause of the condensation rather than relying on plants.

Cheers. It's not so bad. Just a little bit which a couple of plants might help.
