The hair-like projection of the epidermal cells of the root are called root hairs.

The capacity of root hairs is to gather water and mineral supplements present in the soil and take this arrangement up through the roots to whatever remains of the plant. As root hair cells don't do photosynthesis they don't contain chloroplasts.

The epidermis is the defensive external layer of clonally related cells covering all plant organs. It is made out of various particular cell sorts which separate from the basal epidermal cell in adaptively noteworthy frequencies and types.

A single continuous layered cell is formed epidermis. These epidermal cells cover all the parts of the plant without any intercellular space and protect from winds. Small pores present in the surface of the leafs, these are useful for the exchange of gases and these pores are called as stomata.

Aerial parts secrete wax on their outer layer, it can act as water-resistant, therefore, it controls water loss, mechanical injury and parasite fungal invasion.

These cells usually bear lengthy hair-like parts that increase the total absorptive surface on soil and it leads to increase in the water absorption. The desert plants have thick epidermal layer and coated with cutin, it is helpful to check the water loss.
