Yes,they do absorb. You can try it anyway. You might think I am only 5 and do not know a single thing,but you are wrong. Try the experiment. Use two pots and put similar carrot plants in. Water one daily. It should be the same plant you water. See what happens after a week. If you are impatient,five days then. Rebecca 5
Plants absorb mineral nutrients by way of ions in the soil. This is basically the case with how all plants get their nutrients besides sunlight. The process takes place at the atomic level.
Generally root hairs are not the ones who absorb water,it is still a function of a root.
They absorb the water.
They absorb minerals dissolved in water via diffusionfrom the soil.They increase surface area so a plant can absorb water and other minerals that are further away in the soil.Plants in dry locations have deeper roots and more root hair cells to absorb water and nutrients from deep underground and if the roots were closer to the surface it would be easier for the water to be lost by evaporation.
Roots absorb water when you feed plants water and then it helps the plant grow.
The function of the root hair cell in plant is to absorb water and mineral salts.
Water and mineral nutrients
water and mineral salts are obtained in the soil and are absorb by the root hair cell
Yes roots roots do both,root hairs absorb minerals dissolved in water .Water uptake from the soil by root cells is passive, and also follows osmotic gradients caused by the mineral nutrients

Roots hairs absorb water and minerals,and protect root tips.
To absorb water from the soil

Root hairs help the root absorb more water and nutrients from the soil. The absence of root hairs would reduce the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients.
