1.Osmosis is very important in root hair cells. Providing that the soil is moist, it is possible for water to enter the root hair by osmosis. (See the Osmosis Page if you have forgotten about this.)
2.Water passes from a region of high water concentration (wet soil) through a semi-permeable membrane (the cell membrane) to a region of lower water concentration (the cytoplasm). This makes the cell turgid.
3.As these cells develop they absorb water by osmosis and the hair can be pushed between soil particles.
4.The most important thing to remember about root hairs is that they increase the surface area between the root and the soil: this is necessary for the absorption of water and mineral salts.
All the best to you ! :D Hope this helped
To absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
Genetic fingerprinting can match a hair to an individual person. It's now a common method of crime detection, if the root of the hair is with the hair. DNA can be extracted from the root.
Tissue from a hair follicle that is still attached to the root end of hair
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.
Your hair begins growing from a root in the bottom of the follicle. The root is made up of cells of protein. Blood from the blood vessels in your scalp feeds the root, which creates more cells and makes the hair grow. The hair gets pushed up through the skin as it grows, passing an oil gland along the way.
it is layered and it grows, it helps the hair cell when providing a greater surface area for water absorption

Taproot was adapted for Anchorage. It is a beautiful root without any trunks.

They have root cells inside their roots to absorb water they are tough to stay in the ground. A root hair cells job is to provide water and nutrition for a plant. Root hair cells have to absorb large amounts of water. The process by which root cells take in water is osmosis. In order to take in large amounts of water, a cell needs a large surface area. Root cells, have a large surface area over which absorption of minerals and water can occur.
Root hairs are present in root hair zone. Root hair zone is located just above the root merestem zone.
The white bulb at the root of your hair is actually the root of the hair.
Root hairs are specialized structures in plants that are specifically adapted for the absorption of water and nutrients from the soil. These tiny, hair-like extensions of root cells increase the surface area available for absorption, allowing plants to efficiently take up essential materials from the substratum.
Root hair cells have long, thin projections that increase surface area for absorption of water and nutrients. They have thin cell walls to facilitate osmosis and have many mitochondria to provide energy for active transport. Additionally, they are located near the root tip where soil nutrients are most abundant.
The hair root is in the skin of your scalp. The hair shaft is the rest of the hair that you see.
Root hair is diploid.
Tiny root is multicellular whereas root hair is unicellular
