Root hair are the hair like processes near the root tips.
Explanation:
A plant root's hair like outgrowth that absorbs water and minerals from the soil. Root hairs are tubular epidermis extensions that greatly increase the root's surface area. As the root grows and extends into the soil, it continually dies off and is replaced by new ones.
- Thin hair like outgrowth of an epidermal cell just behind the tip, absorbs nutrients from the soil.
- Single tubular root cells are known as root hair cells. The surface of interaction between the plant's root system and the soil .
- The intake of water and nutrients from the rhizosphere is the primary function of root hairs.Root hair cells are adapted for taking up water and mineral ions by having a large surface area to increase the rate of absorption.
- They also contain lots of mitochondria , which release energy from glucose during respiration in order to provide the energy needed for active transport.
