Plants infected by a particular root fungal disease are unable to grow root hairs. Describe how this would affect water uptake by the plant.

Respuesta :

Diatonic254

Explanation:

The rate of water uptake by the plant would be greatly reduced.

Root hairs increase the surface areas to volume ratio by which the roots absorb water from the soil. This means the plant will not be able to effectively replace water lost by evapo-transpiration and the plant will wilt especially on a hot day.
