Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The process of absorbing water through root hairs by the means of capillary action and transpiration pull is water absorption. The water from the roots moves from the various cells until it reaches vascular tissues, from where the water moves to leaves (photosynthetic center).

The very tip of a young root is protected by the cells of the______ . The surface area of a young root is increased by projections from epidermal cells called______ , which move minerals from the soil water into their cytoplasm by the process of_______ . Many young roots have a mutually beneficial relationship with fungi to help absorb some minerals; these root–fungus complexes are called______ .

- A group of researchers run an experiment to determine the effect of mycorrhizae (a fungus) on plant growth. The researchers set up three experimental groups: A large amount of mycorrhizae is applied to the plants in group 1 a smaller amount of mycorrhizae is applied to the plants in group 2, and no mycorrhizae is applied to the plants in group 3. Which group(s) is/are the experimental group(s)? More than one answer may be correct. Select all that apply.
