What two substances do root hair cells absorb from the soil?

BEST ANSWER:
They absorb Water and Mineral Salts OR Nitrates from the soil
They obtain these as they have an enlarged surface area because of the protruding hairs.These are useful to absorb more water into the root.They have no chloroplasts or storage structures,but do have some organelles that enable them to release energy so that minerals salts can also be actively absorbed into the cell from the soil.
