    Glossary Root Hair

    tiny extensions of root cells that absorb water and nutrients

    Root hairs are tiny, hair-like extensions of root epidermal cells in plants. They significantly increase the surface area of the root, enhancing the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. These structures are crucial for efficient nutrient uptake and overall plant health.
