    process where root hairs grow longer to absorb nutrients

    Root hair elongation refers to the process by which root hairs, the tiny hair-like structures on the surface of plant roots, grow longer. This growth increases the surface area of the root, enhancing the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. For professionals, it's important to note that this process involves cell wall loosening and expansion, driven by hormonal signals like auxins and environmental factors such as soil moisture and nutrient availability.
