What region is responsible for the root hairs growth?

Root hairs grow longer as they age (similar to how we grow taller as we age). Since the older (and therefore longer) root hairs are at the distal end of the root cap (towards the base of the root), it creates a tapering appearance. In other words, as you move from the base of the root towards the root cap, the root hairs become shorter since they are younger.


Why do the root cells look different from the leaf cells of a plant?

Root cells do not have chlorophyll that gives the green color to the leaf. Root cells have hair extensions called root hairs. Leaves do not have these extensions. Root cells do not have pores. Leaves have pores that are guarded by two cells that are responsible for increasing and decreasing the size of the pores.
