24) In roots, _______________ increase the surface area through which water and minerals can diffuse. (1 point)

Sagot :

Answer:

The correct answer would be the root hairs.

The root hairs are the absorbent hairs present on the root of the plant.

They are similar to microvilli in our small intestine.

They are small in size and thus, increase the surface area of the roots which helps in absorption of water and minerals.

Water is usually absorbed by the process of osmosis at the site of root hairs.
