Minerals enter the root cells through a process called diffusion.
Minerals are found dissolved the soil around the root. When minerals dissolve in water they break up into ions. These ions are very small and enter through the holes in the cell membrane.
The absorption of mineral salts take place through the root hairs.
When the mineral concentration is higher in the soil than in the cells of the root hair then the minerals pass through the cell membrane -
from a higher concentration of minerals in the soil
to
a lower concentration of minerals in the root hair cells.
This process is called diffusion and does not require energy.
Water and mineral salts enter the root hair cell through osmosis and active transport. Osmosis allows water to pass through the cell membrane from an area of higher water potential to lower water potential. Active transport uses energy to move mineral salts against their concentration gradient into the cell.
The roots of the plant absorb mineral salts from the soil. Root hairs and root cells help in the absorption of water and nutrients, including mineral salts which are essential for the plant's growth and development.
Because plants have roots. So technically the root hair cell is a specialized plant cell, which has a long protrusion to increase its surface area for more efficient absorption of water and more mitochondria to produce energy for active transport of mineral salts from the soil.
water and dissolved mineral salts enter the root hairs from the soil.then the water travels up through xylem vessels in the roots,stem,leaves
root hairs are numerous tiny hair like roots that spread from the main roots, creating a larger surface area for the absorption of mineral salts. The gradient is the main cause, of transport. The mineral salts diffuse across the concentration gradient,

The function of the root hair cell in plant is to absorb water and mineral salts.
water and mineral salts are obtained in the soil and are absorb by the root hair cell

Tap root gives the support to the plant and fibrous root search the water and mineral salts in the ground.
root hairs are numerous tiny hair like roots that spread from the main roots, creating a larger surface area for the absorption of mineral salts. The gradient is the main cause, of transport. The mineral salts diffuse across the concentration gradient,
xylem is tissues in plants that transport water and dissolved mineral salts from root to all parts of the plant they are mostly parenchymatic cells
