Want this question answered?
Roots with root hairs on them can penetrate the soil better. Also, root hairs increase the surface area of a root allowing faster absorption of water and minerals.
Root hairs increase the surface area of the root. This allows for more contact between water and root.
Because it increases the surface area of which the roots can absorb water allowing it to absorb more water than it can with root hairs.
the root hairs attached to the root give the root cell a large surface area so that they can take minerals and water in more efficiently

Roots with root hairs on them can penetrate the soil better. Also, root hairs increase the surface area of a root allowing faster absorption of water and minerals.
Root hairs greatly increase the surface area available to the root for water absorption. The greater the surface area, the more water that can be reached at one time.
Root hairs increase the surface area of the root. This allows for more contact between water and root.
they do this because they get thinner and thinner and spread out.
Because it increases the surface area of which the roots can absorb water allowing it to absorb more water than it can with root hairs.

Root Hairs
Pretty self explanatory, root hairs are hairs on roots. Root hairs are basically tiny projections on the root which can grow through the spaces between soil particles, and they add a great amount of surface area to the roots. result: more water intake.
Having a large surface area to volume ratio allows root hairs to quickly absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
there is more surface area for the root to absorb water
No.Plant roots have large surface area,roots have root hairs to increase the surface area so that large amounts of water can be absorbed easily.
