  • 2 answers

Aryan Pathak 4 years, 10 months ago

Root hair have thin walls. Due to this, water enters the root hair because of osmosis. Water from root hair continuously moves into the root xylem. To maintain the osmotic gradient, the cells of root hair actively take up ions from the soil.

Sounak Chatterjee 4 years, 10 months ago

The roots of plants contain tiny hair called root hair. Water and minerals are absorbed by root hair through the process of diffusion. Then the water absorbed by the root hair from the soil pass from cell to cell by osmosis through the epidermis, root cortex, endodermis and reach the root xlem.
