Root hairs are the plant part that increases the absorption capacity of roots. These tiny hair-like structures on the surface of roots significantly increase the surface area available for absorbing water and nutrients from the soil.
The roots of a plant serve as a center for absorption of water and nutrients from the soil. Additionally, the roots act as a storage organ for excess nutrients and energy in the form of starch.
Root Hairs
The uptake of nutrients by plant roots is a process called root uptake or absorption. Plant roots take in water and minerals through their root hairs, which then move up through the plant's vascular system to be used for growth and metabolism.
Roots collect water and minerals from the soil, and additionally anchor the plant.
Adventitious roots are roots that arise from plant parts other than the primary root system, such as stems or leaves. They help provide stability and support to the plant, as well as aid in water and nutrient absorption. Examples of plants with adventitious roots include mangroves and ivy.

The roots.
A santan plant has fibrous roots. These roots are smaller and more numerous, providing better support and absorption of nutrients for the plant.

Putting salt into plant soil will hinder plant growth and even kill the plant by making the soil outside more concentrated than the environment inside of roots. This stops the absorption of water and minerals by the roots.
