1.Osmosis is very important in root hair cells. Providing that the soil is moist, it is possible for water to enter the root hair by osmosis. (See the Osmosis Page if you have forgotten about this.)
2.Water passes from a region of high water concentration (wet soil) through a semi-permeable membrane (the cell membrane) to a region of lower water concentration (the cytoplasm). This makes the cell turgid.
3.As these cells develop they absorb water by osmosis and the hair can be pushed between soil particles.
4.The most important thing to remember about root hairs is that they increase the surface area between the root and the soil: this is necessary for the absorption of water and mineral salts.
The root hair is long and narrow.this increases yhe surface area to volume ratio which in turn increase the rate of absorbtionof water and mineral salts by root hair cell.
The cell surface membraneprevents the cell sapfrom leaking out.The ceel sap contain sugar,amino acids and salt.It has lower water potential then soil solution.this results in water entering the root hair cell.
Like all other plants' root the function of watermelon root is absorption and anchorage. Watermelon plants have week stem hence these are creepers on the ground.
Since plants have great power of regeneration, trimming provides an opportunity to have more rapid division of root meristem, initiating more root tips to come out and enhance the function of absorption.
epithelial tissue includes protection, secretion, absorption, and filtration
Plant root is specialized for anchorage and absorption.

Root cap epidermis's function is protection while that of root hair is absorption .

The function of root hairs is to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. If the root hairs have a cuticle covering, it will prevent the free absorption of water and nutrients from the soil.
it is layered and it grows, it helps the hair cell when providing a greater surface area for water absorption
