Question

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
Root hairs are found in the zone of:

• A. cell division
• B. apical meristem
• C. maturation
• D. elongation

Answer 1

The correct option is C maturation

Answer C: Maturation

Root hair cells vary between 15 and 17 micrometers in diameter, and 80 to 1,500 micrometers in length. They are found only in the zone of maturation, and not the zone of elongation, possibly because any root hairs that arise are sheared off as the root elongates and moves through the soil.
