Root hair cell
Having a large surface area to volume ratio allows root hairs to quickly absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
Cotton's structure contains a large number of hydrophilic (water-attracting) molecules, such as cellulose, which allows it to absorb water quickly. Additionally, cotton fibers have a large surface area and porous structure, which further enhances its water absorption capacity.
Unlike cotton fibres, which absorb water, polyester fibres doesn't absorb water, though may have water on the surface - which quickly dries.
They absorb large amounts of water and dry quickly
Root hairs form an important surface over which plants absorb most of their water and nutrients. They are also directly involved in the formation of Root_nodulein Fabaceaeplants.They have a large surface area, relative to the other cells, that helps them absorb water and minerals more efficiently.
Yes, some desert plants have evolved large root systems near the surface to quickly absorb water during rare rain events and to spread out to capture as much moisture as possible. These roots are adapted to be shallow to cover a wide area and maximize water intake.
Concrete is porous and therefore has the ability to absorb from the surface.
Water tends to sink quickly through gravelly soil (classed as quick draining), though not as quickly as through a sandy soil. Any soil between the gravel will absorb and retain some of the water.
Yes, soil can typically absorb more water than gravel due to its larger surface area and greater capacity to hold water within its structure. Gravel, with its larger particles and reduced surface area, tends to drain water more quickly and may not retain as much water as soil.
Root hair cell are dermal cells found on the roots of many vascular plants.Their job is to provide a greater surface area for water absorption.As transpiration pulls water up to the leaves, root hair cells have to absorb large amounts of water. The process by which root dermal cells take in water is osmosis. In order to diffuse large amounts of water, a cell obviously needs a large surface area. The root hair cells provide this needed extra surface area to absorb large amounts of water.
