Key Stage 3

Meaning

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.

Adaptations of Root Hair Cells

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.

About Root Hair Cells

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