Long root hair for better absorption of water and minerals.

Root hairs can be seen coming out of this root.

A root hair cell is a specialised cell found in roots of plants that is specially adapted to absorb water.

Root hair cells have a long root hair that gives them a large surface area for absorption of water and minerals.

The vacuole of the root hair cell stretches into the root hair.

Root hair cells are found in the roots of a plant.
