What is the job of root hairs?

Root hair cell are dermal cells found on the roots of many vascular plants.Their job is to provide a greater surface area for water absorption.As transpiration pulls water up to the leaves, root hair cells have to absorb large amounts of water. The process by which root dermal cells take in water is osmosis. In order to diffuse large amounts of water, a cell obviously needs a large surface area. The root hair cells provide this needed extra surface area to absorb large amounts of water.
