Question: The Root hair is produced from ________.
Options:
Trichomes
Trichoblasts
Rhizodermis
Epidermis
🔑Key Points:
Root hairs are slender projections originating from epidermal cells that function in nutrient and water uptake as well as in anchoring the root in the soil.
In wild-type Arabidopsis, root hairs are formed by epidermal cells termed trichoblasts which overlie the boundary between two cortical cells

🔴Additional Information:
Trichomes: Unicellular hair-like outgrowths of the plant epidermis.
Trichoblasts: Root hairs formed from tabular outgrowths of trichoblasts in vascular plants.
Rhizodermis: The outermost primary cell layer of the root epidermis.
Epidermis: The outermost tissue layer of a plant, providing protection against water loss and regulating gas exchange.
