Question

Root hair occur in the zone of:

• A. Cell division
• B. Cell elongation
• C. Cell maturation
• D. Root cap

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Cell maturation

A root hair, or absorbent hair, the rhizoid of a vascular plant, is a tubular outgrowth, a hair-forming cell on the epidermis of a plant root. As they are lateral extensions of a single cell and only rarely branched, they are visible to the naked eye. Root hair occur in the zone of maturation.
