(I need this to be slightly unprofessional,so please do not copy off a website,I also need this quick)

Answer 1

The root hair cells have hair-like projections on each cell. It offers a larger surface area for absorption of water and mineral salts

Answer 2

The Roots have what are known as Root Hair Cells on their surface, these Root Hair Cells increase the Surface Area of the Root allowing a more efficient absorption of Water and Mineral Ions. Found within the cells is a large Vacuole. the role of any Vacuole is to hold the nutrients (mainly salts and sugars) needed for the cell to carry out its multiple functions. So, with this Vacuole being large, it allows more of these nutrients to be held for the Root.
