A Root cell doesn't have any Chloroplasts on them where as leaf cells do. Leaf cells need sunlight which is absorbed into the cells of the leaf: this job is done by the chloroplasts present in the cells, but when the roots are present under the ground, the cells do not need sunlight. hope u got Ur answer.

∙ 11y agoRoot cells are rectangular shaped while leaf cells are less rectangular shaped. Root cells also have larger vacuoles than leaf cells. The most important difference is that leaf cells have more chloroplasts than the root cells, since they need them to do photosynthesis.

What is the difference between a leaf and a root cell?
It doesn't have chloroplasts because its underground and doesn't need to photosynthesise.
What is the didfference between a plant root cell and a leaf cell?

What is the difference between a leaf cell and root hair cell?
Leaves' cells are made to absorb sunlight and produce sugar for the plant. Roots' cells are made to absorb water.
What is the difference between xylem vessel and root hair cell?
a xylem vessel is a part of a plant and a root hair cell is a root of the plant
How can you tell the cell is from a leaf and not from a root?
Chloroplast

What is in a leaf cell but not in a root hair cell?
it is chloroplasm
What is a difference in structure in a plant root cell and a leaf cell with a brief expanation?
A plant root cell does not have chloroplasts whereas a leaf cell has chloroplasts. This is because the roots are away from the light and need not to perform photosynthesis. On the other hand leaves are above the ground attached to the stem branches and perform photosynthsis in sunlight.
What is the difference between a plant's root cell and a leaf cell?
1) Root hair cells don't have chloroplasts as they are under the ground,there is no access of light to them and they do not photosynthesize.Leaf cells do have chloroplasts. 2) Root hair cells have along narrow extension to absorb minerals,ions and water.Leaf cells d not have this extension as this is not their function.
Does a root cell of a plant have chloroplast in the cell?
No.it is not found on root cells,you can only see it in leaf cells
What cell is smallest... stem or root or or leaf?
Usually the root, but it really depends on the plant.
How would you know if a cell was a plant cell and not a root cell?
Root cells are plant cells, but they do not contain chloroplasts like leaf cells.
What is the difference between root hair celll and nerve cell?
the shape and that nerve cells have nucleus
What typical plant cell organelle would a root cell have less of than a leaf?
chloroplasts
