Solution

The correct option is A Epidermal cell
Root hairs are tubular extensions of the epidermis that greatly increase the surface area of the root. They are found only in the region of maturation of the root.
The function of root hairs is to collect water and mineral nutrients present in the soil and take this solution up through the roots to the rest of the plant.
