Root hairs form an important surface over which plants absorb most of their water and nutrients. The cell structure of root hairs exhibits a large surface area to volume ratio. This is an important evolutionary function that enables a large...

Roots are equally important in plant growth as leaves and stems because they provide the chlorenchyma cells of stems and leaves with a steady supply of water and dissolved minerals. ... Because root hairs are fragile extensions of epidermal cells, they usually break off when plants are transplanted.

A second objective was to show that wild-type root hairs are short at high-phosphorus availability because root hairs are unimportant in phosphorus acquisition under high-phosphorus conditions. ... In nutrient solution, phosphorus is continuously and readily accessible to the plant because of continuous mixing of the solution.

This suggests an important role for root hairs in K+ uptake. The growth and rubidium (Rb+) uptake of two root hair mutants, trh1-1 (tiny root hairs) and rhd6 (root hair defective), were studied to determine the contribution of root hairs to whole-plant K+ status.
