The root hair cells have a large surface area that helps in efficiently absorbing water from the soil through osmosis.

The large surface also helps in efficiently absorbing minerals during active uptake.

The root hairs secrete acid that helps to exchange and solubilize minerals into an ionic form, making the ions easier to absorb.

A plant's roots help it by anchoring it to the ground (in case of strong wind), absorb water, and help move nutrients to the body of the plant.
