one adaptation of the roots in water absorption is having root hairs. cross-sectionally, these root hairs arise from the pericycle. in longitudinal section, root hairs can the seen in the zone of maturation. root hairs increase the absorptive capacity of the root.
another is the velamen, it can be seen in epiphytes or arial plants. the velamen is a spongy multiple epidermis that is capable of absorbing atmospheric pressure.

∙ 13y agoThey are spread out so that they can absorb more water. Even the root cells are spread out so they can suck up more water to go towards creating food (glucose) and releasing oxygen, this is photosynthesis.

∙ 14y agothe fact that root hairs are only one cell. this gives them a high surface area to volume ratio,as a result they can absorb water more effeciently

Why can plants in the desert survive?
Desert plants have several adaptations that allow them to survive. Their roots go deeper than plants in moister climates, to maximize water intake. They don't have leaves, which allow water to evaporate.

Why are The roots of plants are important to photosynthesis?
Water used in photosynthesis by plants is made available by roots. That is why roots of plants are important to photosynthesis in terrestrial plants. Aqatic plants absorb water from their free surface, hence role of roots in these plants is limited.
