Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Root hairs. Single celled and large surface area, perfect for absorption of water and nutrients! Root hairs are long, thin, single cell extensions from the epidermis. They profoundly increase the overall root surface area and connection with the soil and are responsible for absorbing water and mineral nutrients.
Detailed explanation-2: -Xylem sap carries soil nutrients (e.g., dissolved minerals) from the root system to the leaves; the water is then lost through transpiration.
Detailed explanation-3: -The roots absorb water and minerals from the soil and anchor the plant in the ground. The stem supports the plant above ground, and carries the water and minerals to the leaves.
