What adaptation does a root hair cell have
A
Lots of chloroplasts for photosynthesis
B
It has animal cell parts
C
It can eat worms
D
Long extension of the cell wall to absorb water and nutrients
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Another adaptation that helps root hair cells fulfill their role is the presence of a vacuole that has a high concentration of solutes and so therefore a low water potential.

Detailed explanation-2: -Root hair cells Plants absorb water from the soil by osmosis. They absorb mineral ions by active transport, against the concentration gradient.

Detailed explanation-3: -Root hair cells have long projections that increase the surface area that the plant can use to absorb water and minerals.

Detailed explanation-4: -Figure 2: Root hairs often form on fine roots and improve water absorption by increasing root surface area and by improving contact with the soil.
