DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -For example, cells in the center of the root will become specialized in transport (xylem and phloem), while the cells towards the periphery (outside) of the root will become specialized in protecting the root (epidermis). In this region of maturation is also where root hairs are formed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Region of Maturation: This region is just above the region of elongation. The cells from the region of elongation differentiate and mature, and then form the region of maturation. The root hairs come out in this region. Root hairs are part of the root epidermis.

Detailed explanation-3: -The absorption of water and minerals is the function of the root hairs that are present at the maturation region. So, maximum absorption of minerals in plants takes place at maturation zone.

Detailed explanation-4: -Root hairs help plants to absorb water from the soil.
