Asked by Chandrashekhar | 03 Sep, 2018, 07:30: PM
Expert Answer
It is due to the absorption of water and nutrients from the soil by the roots. The root hairs
1. The root hairs cover a large surface area. More the surface area, the greater is the absorption.
2. The cell membrane is semi-permeable.
3. The vacuoles present in the root hair cells contain cell sap. The water concentration in cell sap is lower than the concentration of water in the soil.
