How do the root hairs increase the surface area of the roots?

Root hairs are tiny, finger-like extensions that grow out of a plant's root epidermis. Their high number and thin structure help to greatly increase the surface area of the roots available for water and nutrient absorption from the soil. This increased surface area allows for more efficient uptake of essential resources needed for plant growth and development.

Is the spread of roots around a plant greater than the depth of the roots?

The spread of the roots compared to the depth is dependent on the environment that the plant is in.

The type of plant also has an influence in how the roots grow.
