How is the shape of the root hair cell is specilised to help it absorb water and minerals from the soil?

Answer 1

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,

Answer 2

When you look at a root cell its shape is thin and has small hoary structures known as the root hairs. These roots are fixed very firmly to the ground. This means that there is plenty of water and minerals down there. These thin roots absorb them easily and it gets transported to all the parts of the plant.

Answer 3

The root hair cell has long, slender extensions that increase its surface area for greater absorption of water and minerals. This shape allows the cell to come into close contact with the surrounding soil particles where these nutrients are found, facilitating their uptake into the cell. Additionally, the thin cell membrane of the root hair cell enables efficient diffusion of molecules into the cell.
