Root hair cells are adapted for taking up more water and mineral ions. The way the are able to perform this is by having a bigger surface area to increase how fast the water and minerals absorb. Plus they contain a lot of mitochondria, which release the energy from glucose during respiration in order to provide the energy that is needed for active transport.
