Question

Root hairs develop from the region of:

• A. Maturation
• B. Elongation
• C. Root cap
• D. Meristematic activity

Answer 1

The correct option is A Maturation

Regions of the root:

a) region of maturation
b) region of elongation
c) region of meristematic activity which is protected by root cap.

Root hairs develop from the region of maturation. Certain epidermal cells from this region form fine and delicate, thread-like structures called root hairs which help in the absorption of water and minerals.
