The tiny hairlike parts on plant roots are called root hairs. Root hairs are responsible for absorbing water and nutrients from the soil, and they greatly increase the surface area of the root for this purpose.

The tiny hairs in the ear, called stereocilia, are responsible for detecting sound waves and converting them into electrical signals. These signals are then sent to the brain for processing and interpretation, allowing us to hear and sense different sounds in our environment.
