Which part of a plant absorbs most of the water and minerals taken up from the soil? question 8 options: a. the thick parts of the roots near the base of the stem b. storage roots c. root cap d. sections of the root that have secondary xylem e. root hairs?

e. root hairs

Explanation:

The uptake of water and mineral salts in plants occurs mostly at the root epidermis level, especially through root hair. These structures are extensions of epidermal cells that increase the surface area of contact with the ground, and consequently the absorption capacity.

These root hairs are microscopic and are actually extensions of the root epidermis cells. The presence of these hairs makes the root area available for the absorption of these resources to be much larger.
