Root hairs are lateral extensions of a single cell and only rarely branched, they are invisible to the naked eye. They are found only in the region of maturation of the root.
A root hair, the rhizoid of a vascular plant, is a tubular outgrowth of a trichoblast, a hair-forming cell on the epidermis of a plant root. As they are lateral extensions of a single cell and only rarely branched, they are invisible to the naked eye. They are found only in the region of maturation of the root.

Are tap roots the same as root hairs?
no tap roots are not the same as root hairs, root hairs are more of fibrous roots, on a plant there can only be one major tap root yet there can be many root hairs.
Which are the single thread-like cells on the root epidermis?
Root Hairs
Why are root hairs found only in mature parts of the root tip?
Perhaps to maximise intake of rain water falling on the surface of the soil? structurally, since roots grow downwards, the root hairs that are older and longer will be located at the top, near more mature cells of the root tip, while the newer, shorter root hairs are located at the younger part of the root: closer to the root cap
Why do leaves have cuticle but root hairs do not?
The function of root hairs is to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. If the root hairs have a cuticle covering, it will prevent the free absorption of water and nutrients from the soil.
Which part takes in water and minerals?
Root Hairs
Why are root hairs softer than other part of the root?
For ease of water absorption.
What extends from the outer tissue part of the root and it absorb water and nutrients?
prop root root hairs A+
What part takes in the nutrients from the soil?
The roots/root hairs.

Which part of an actively growing root takes up the most water from the soil?
the root hairs
Which part of the plant absorbs most of the water and minerals takeny up from the soil?
The roots, or more accurately the root hairs and or associated, symbiotic mycorrhiza.
Which section of the root has root hairs?
the root hairs are located in the region above the root tip.
What part of root are the root hair?
Root hairs are present in root hair zone. Root hair zone is located just above the root merestem zone.
How many root hairs are there on each root?
one thousand root hairs are in a tree
Are tap roots the same as root hairs?
