Stomata
are openings on the surface of leaves, stems, and other parts of plants that allow
gases
to enter or exit the leaf.
Plants have specialized structures called
root hairs
that increase the surface area available for
water absorption
from soil.
The
guard cell
is responsible for controlling the size of the pore through which
gas exchange
occurs between the plant and its environment.
Guard cells
regulate the opening and closing of
stomata
based on environmental conditions such as light intensity and humidity levels.

Root hair cells are
elongated
and
thin-walled
, with numerous mitochondria and chloroplasts for energy production.

Root hair cells are found at the tips of roots and play an important role in
absorbing
nutrients and
water
from the soil.
The epidermis is a single layer of cells covering the
outer
surfaces of plant
organs
such as roots, stems, and leaves.
Root hair cells are
elongated
cells found at the tips of roots that greatly increase the surface area available for
water
uptake by the plant.
Epidermal cells
may be covered by
cuticle
, which provides protection against desiccation and pathogens.
Root hairs also play a role in
nutrient uptake
by absorbing minerals dissolved in the
soil solution.
Root hair cells have
elongated projections
that greatly increase the
surface area
available for absorption.
Xylem
tissue transports
water
and minerals upwards from the roots to the rest of the plant.
Stomatal pores can be opened or closed by changes in
turgor pressure
within the
guard
cells.
Epidermal tissue consists of
dead
cells with
waxy
cuticles covering them.
Root hair cells play an important role in absorbing
nutrients
and minerals from the soil into the plant's
xylem
vessels.
