Root hair cells
The surface area of a root hair cell is typically larger than that of a regular plant cell because the root hair cell has long, thin projections that increase its surface area for improved absorption of water and nutrients. This increased surface area allows the root hair cell to more efficiently take up essential substances from the surrounding soil.
Because it has to perform absorption of water and minerals
They have in comparison to other cell a large surface area which helps them collect water. They are found near the tip of the roots and appear like hairs. The whole structure is quite delicate. It can only survive for a few days and don't properly develop into a proper hair. Each root is a different cell.
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 root hair cells has a special structure to help it absorb water from the soil efficiently. 1. Elongated structure that protrudes out to the soil - This is to increase the surface area to volume ratio; thereby increasing the rate of uptake of water from the soil to the cell. 2. Large vacuole - The root hair cell has a large vacuole to maximize the amount of water capacity of the cell; thus, the cell is able to absorb and store more water. 3. Cell sap - The cell sap of the root hair cell has a lower water potential than the water in the soil. Thus, the water from the soil moves into the cell via osmosis.
water and mineral salts are obtained in the soil and are absorb by the root hair cell
Both plant cells and root hair cells undergo the process of osmosis, where water moves from areas of high concentration to low concentration across a selectively permeable membrane. This process is essential for maintaining proper water balance within the cell and supporting various cellular functions.
The function of the root hair cell in plant is to absorb water and mineral salts.
it absorbs water and is a plant cell
I am just telling what I believe they are for. I can be completely wrong. I thinks hair like growth on the plants is what also help anchors the roots into the ground , as well that could be a way the root system takes water in.
A root hair cell is a plant cell. It is a specialized cell found in the roots of plants that helps with water and nutrient absorption from the soil.
