What specialised cells are in the roots and leaves of plants?

In the roots of plants, specialized cells include root hair cells, which enhance water and nutrient absorption, and cortical cells that store starch. In the leaves, guard cells surround stomata and regulate gas exchange, while mesophyll cells are involved in photosynthesis, containing chloroplasts to capture light energy. These specialized cells work together to support the plant's growth, nutrient uptake, and energy production.
