JudyA root hair cell is a type of specialized plant cell found in the roots of plants. These cells have long, thin projections called root hairs that greatly increase the surface area for absorption of water and nutrients from the soil. This allows plants to efficiently uptake essential resources for growth and development.

its in the roots
Do root hair cells have a membrane?
Yes, root hair cells have a cell membrane. The cell membrane encloses the cell and regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
How many cells find in single root hair?
A single root hair cell typically consists of only one cell. Each root hair cell has a long, thin structure that increases the surface area for water and mineral absorption.
What part of a root hair cell takes water out of the ground?
The cell membrane of a root hair cell contains protein channels called aquaporins that facilitate the movement of water into the cell from the surrounding soil. This allows the root hair cell to absorb water and essential nutrients from the soil for plant growth.
