Plant roots have extensions called root hairs. These repairs are important in the homeostasis of the plant. Which statement best explains the importance of the repairs to the stems and leaves of the plant?

Root hairs increase the surface area of the roots for nutrient and water absorption

Explanation:

Root hairs convert minerals into glucose for immediate use by the cell Root hairs decrease the need for osmosis and diffusion in vascular tissue Root hairs prevent water loss in leaves through transpiration and gas exchange Root hairs increase the surface area of the roots for nutrient and water absorption

The correct answer would be that root hairs increase the surface area of the roots for nutrient and water absorption.

Generally, root hairs are extensions of epidermal cells of the roots of plants whose primary function is to increase the surface area of the root and increase the volume of soil the plant can mine for water and nutrients for metabolic purposes.

Water and nutrients diffuse from the soil through the root hairs and conducting tissues of the plant conduct these resources to the parts where they are needed for metabolic activities.

Iam not sure but to me it with be a or dsorry if i was late! hope this ! : )if you really want me to find out the answer that is correct tell me and i will do more research but the a or d makes sense to me.
