Root hair cells are found underground, where there is no light. Chloroplasts help the process of photosynthesis. As there is no light, no photosynthesis takes place so chloroplasts are not needed.

∙ 14y agoBecause chlorophyll is a pigmented protein that is used in photosynthesis. It is green and since the root doesn't have it it is not green. Since the roots are underground they are not exposed to light. Light is necessary to power photosynthesis and so the roots cannot conduct photosynthesis. The roots do not need to conduct photosynthesis (leaves and stems do this and that is why they are green). Roots do not conduct photosynthesis so they do not need chlorophyll.

∙ 12y agoChlorophyll are green pigments that traps sunlight to convert light energy to chemical potential energy. Root hair cells are underneath the soil, where there are no sunlight - thus, having chlorophyll there is not at all necessary.
All the more, the root hair cells' main function is to absorb water and not sunlight.
Hope this helps :)

∙ 11y agobecause they are found close to the tips of growing roots, their function is to take in water not photosynthesis, therefore they do not need chloroplasts
- the bulb is underground & is used a storage place for food, water, water, and waste
- since it doesnt get enough sunlight, there is no point of these cells living!
-the process of photosynthesis, requires light, which the bulb doesnt have because it's underground
HOPE THIS HELPED! good luck :)

∙ 12y agothe root hair cell doesnt have a chloroplast because it is underground and dont have sunlight. the chloroplast has somthing to do with light but i dont know

∙ 10y agoRoot cells do not get sun light.So they do not have chloroplast.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoChloplast is responsible for photosynthesis.It need sunlight.Roots do not get sunlight.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoRoots are underground and so could not use chlorophyll, found in chloroplasts,and can not be able to be stimulated by the sun.

Why are roots brown and not green?
It is because there is not chlorophyll in roots.
Why are roots not green?
As roots grow underground they have no access to light so cannot manufacture Chlorophyll therefore they are white not green.
How does abnormal secondary growth in Tinospora root occur?
The roots contain chlorophyll
What are assimilatory rOOTS?
in plant like tapa spathe adventitious root develop chlorophyll can act as assimilatory root.
Do roots photosynthesize?
No they could not. The cells within the plant roots haven't been exposed to sunlight, so they have adapted by losing their chloroplast, the organelles needed for photosynthesis.
Why are roots brown and not green?
It is because there is not chlorophyll in roots.
Why are plant leafs green but roots are not?
The roots of a plant aren't green because there is no chlorophyll in the roots. All of the chlorophyll in the chloroplasts are taken to the leaves of a plant. <3
Where is chlorophyll NOT found in a plant and why?
in the roots. no light, no need.
What makes a mushroom a mushroom?
A mushroom has no chlorophyll, no true stem, or roots.
Why are roots not green?
As roots grow underground they have no access to light so cannot manufacture Chlorophyll therefore they are white not green.
Why is there no chlorophyll in the root hair cell of a plant?
Chlorophyll needs sunlight to convert water and soil nutrients into food, and the roots do not get any sunshine.
How does abnormal secondary growth in Tinospora root occur?
The roots contain chlorophyll
What plant part is not green?
The roots of a plant are not green. A part of a plant is green because it contains chlorophyll, which is used for photosynthesis. Since no light penetrates the ground to reach the roots, the roots need no chlorophyll, and so are brown instead of green.
You have roots and a stem but do not produce a flower or fruit or seed you have no chlorophyll you have gills and produce spores?
a mushroom?
Plants with roots stems leaves and flowers reproduce with A spores B seeds or C chlorophyll?
A
Why are roots white not green?
according to me they do have white roots in order to emit heat as they are submerged in soil
What are assimilatory rOOTS?
in plant like tapa spathe adventitious root develop chlorophyll can act as assimilatory root.
