Solution

The correct option is C Root hairs
Root hair cells are specialized epidermal cells that greatly increase the surface area of roots. 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. They are found only in the zone of maturation.
