The function of the root hair cell is to obtain water from the ground and transport this to the Xylem. Plants absorb water from the soil by osmosis. Root hair cells are adapted for this by having a large surface area to speed up osmosis. This speeds up the movement of water by osmosis.

Answer:
The root hair cell has a large surface area which allows it to absorob different substances. It contains mitochondria which provides energy for contraction. The absorbtion is done through active transport and its thin cell wall reduces the barrier to transport. The mitochondria also allows uptake of mineral ions which requires energy.
