Solution

Hair Roots

  1. The trichoblast cell found in the epidermis of plant roots produces root hairs.
  2. These are exceedingly thin, single-cell lateral extensions that are seldom branched.
  3. The root hair cells have a vast surface area and help the roots function.

Hair Roots Grow:

  1. The subterranean portion of the plant is known as the roots.
  2. They are one of the most important components of a plant.
  3. They absorb and deliver water and nutrients from the soil to the rest of the plant. Water from the soil diffuses towards the plants via osmosis, which is performed by the roots. Water conduction from the roots is aided by the transpiration pull.
  4. The roots are slender cylindrical structures that can be branched or stand-alone.
  5. The epidermis is the root's outermost layer.
  6. Trichoblast makes up the epidermis. Trichoblasts are cells that generate root hairs.
  7. Longitudinal extensions of the epidermis that stretch longitudinally in the soil are known as root hair cells.
  8. Rarely are the root hairs branched. These can be observed with the naked eye or are tiny at times.
