Lesson
Root hairs absorb water mainly by osmosis and mineral salts by diffusion or active transport. Their thin walls and large surface area make absorption efficient.
Learning objectives
Root hair cells are specialised for absorbing water and minerals from soil.
Mention root hair, soil water, cell sap, osmosis, and mineral absorption when explaining uptake.
Write answers with one labelled example, process step, and biological importance.
