Root hair cells

• Root hair cells are specialised (to perform a specific function). Their structure allows the plant to absorb more water. They also allow a plant to take in the minerals it needs to survive.
• No chloroplasts

  • These cells are located underground.
  • This means that they do not contain chloroplasts (there is no light for photosynthesis).
• Root hair cells have long projections that increase the surface area that the plant can use to absorb water and minerals.
• Root hair cells are eukaryotic
• Root hair cells are specialised (to perform a specific function). Their structure allows plants to absorb more water. They also let a plant take in the minerals it needs to survive.
