	:The root hairs are thin hairlike structures growing from the epidermis. These help with the absorption of moisture and nutrients from the soil, which is then transported to the rest of the plant. The majority of plant water absorption happens with the root hairs. The length and shape allows them to have a large surface area while being able to go between soil particles, both of which helps with water absorption. In legume plants, they are involved in root nodule formation.		:The [[root hairs]] are thin hairlike structures growing from the epidermis.

	The root is typically the part of the plant that grows into the [[soil]], although it can be aerial in waterlogged soil. Roots have two main functions, anchoring the plant to the ground, and absorbing nutrients, water, and minerals for the plant. There are two main types of roots, tap roots and fibrous roots, both of which are explained in this page. Plant root systems can be very extensive, and are harder to study than the above ground biomass. Current methods for studying root systems include: the harvest method, isotopic analysis, root ingrowth, and rhizotrons. Roots can often have symbiotic relationships with [[Ectomycorrhizal Fungi]] and [[Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi]].

	:Tap roots typically are large roots that grow downward, which other roots laterally sprout from. Some tap roots will persist for the entire plant life, but most plants will replace them with a fibrous system. Dicots are an example of plants that start with a tap root system. In some plants, like carrots, the tap root is later developed into an organ for storage. Most plants replace the tap root with the fibrous root because the tap roots grows from the radicle of the plant, which often dies after germination, forcing it to switch.		:Tap roots typically are large roots that grow downward, which other roots laterally sprout from.
