  Collective name for Xylem and Phloem
• Root Hair


  Increase surface area for water absorption
• Interfascicular Cambium


  The Cambium between the Vascular bundles
• Osmosis


  The movement of water particles from an area of high water potential to an area of low water potential across a selectively permeable membrane until an equilibrium is met
• Capillarity


  The tendency of a liquid in a capillary tube or absorbent material to rise or fall as a result of surface tension
• Transpirational pull


  The biological process of force by which the plants draw water in the upward direction
• Root Cap


  Protects growing point

  Continuously mitosis
• Region of elongation


  New cells elongate
• Root hair region


  Epidermal outgrowth (increase absorption)
• Mature region


  Lateral roots develop
