(1) Maturation (2) Elongation
(3) Root cap (4) Meristematic activity

Answer 1

Answer:

root cap...,.................

Answer 2

Root hairs develop from the region of:

(1) Maturation

• Root hairs exist in the region of maturation.

• This region consists of dividing meristematic cells.

• The root hairs which are developed by the cells of epiblema, are called trichoblast.

• These hairs help in the process of absorption of water and minerals from the soil.

• On the other hand, the zone of elongation carries out gradual differentiation and maturation.

• The root cap is responsible for protecting the root and secreting mucilage which lubricates the root.

• In the region of meristematic activity, the apical meristem is present which helps in increasing the length of the root.
