They are just tiny roots that grow from other roots and look a bit like hair.
root hairs is what they are called they are attached to the main and secondary root to help support the plant.
it goes through the root hairs because the plants need the water and to get their own nutrients
Almost all plants growing in the soil have root hairs
Through osmosis in the root hairs or from cell surface in submerged aquatic plants.
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.
plant roots take in water by the hairs that the root has.
So they can absorb nutrients and water and store them.
Root hairs and or symbiotic mycorrhiza.

The root it's self helps but the secondary and root hairs are most of the support.
In desert plants the root hairs are more sensitive for water absorption and can absorb water at times from the moist air present in the porous soil. The root hairs of tropical rain forest plants absorb only capillary water present in the soil.
The root hairs go further down into the Soil to absorb more water and also nutrients. These microscopic root hairs are so small [made from Cells] that they make sure that plants continually have the capacity to absorb sufficient water and nutrients to allow Survival.
