Did you mean Root Hair Growth?

GlossaryRoot Hair Growth

tiny hair-like structures emerge from plant roots to absorb nutrients

Root Hair Growth, also known as Root Hair Development or Root Hair Formation, refers to the process by which tiny hair-like structures, called root hairs, emerge from the surface of plant roots. These root hairs increase the surface area of the root, enhancing the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. This process is crucial for plant health and growth, as it directly impacts the plant's ability to take in essential resources.
