Roots are adapted to absorb water through root hairs, which are tiny extensions that increase surface area for absorption. Additionally, roots have a specialized tissue called the root cortex that contains cells with high water permeability to facilitate water uptake. Roots also have symbiotic relationships with mycorrhizal fungi that help increase water absorption by extending the root surface area and improving nutrient uptake.

Usually they will either have shallow rots to capture water from rain or deep tap roots to obtain water deeper within the soil. Different plants will often spread their roots at separate depths in order to avoid competition for water
