Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Once water is absorbed by the root hairs, it can move deeper into root layers by two distinct pathways viz., apoplast pathway and symplast pathway. In the apoplast pathway, water moves outside the cells, whereas in the symplast pathway, water moves through the cytoplasm inside the cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Water enters the cells of the root hair by the process of osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. Hence, they perform the function of absorption.
