In plants, which structure is mainly responsible for the absorption of water and minerals?
Updated On: May 20, 2025
- Stem
- Root hairs
- Leaves
- Xylem
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Root hairs are tiny extensions of root epidermal cells.
Step 2: They increase surface area for absorption and directly absorb water and minerals from the soil. \[ \boxed{\text{Root hairs absorb water and minerals from the soil.}} \]
