Cells in the elongation zone differentiate and mature to form the region of maturation, from which root hairs emerge to absorb water and minerals.
Cells in the elongation zone differentiate and mature to form the region of maturation, from which root hairs emerge to absorb water and minerals.
| Text | The cells of the elongation zone gradually differentiate and mature. Hence, this zone, proximal (above) to region of elongation, is called the region of maturation. From this region some of the epidermal cells form very fine and delicate, thread-like structures called root hairs. These root hairs absorb water and minerals from the soil. |
