2.44 explain how water is absorbed by root hair cells

2.44 •root hairs take in water: •the cells on plant roots grow into long ‘hairs’ which stick out into the soil

                                                •each branch of a root will be covered in millions of microscopic hairs

                                                          •this gives the plant a big surface area for absorbing

water from the soil 

                                                                     •water is taken in by osmosis
