Explanation / Answer

Question number 1 answer is A) Root hairs are thin extensions of epidermal cells.Lateral roots are organ..

Root hairs are tiny structure whereas the lateral roots are the extension of the primary root or radical..

Question number 2 answer is D) vascular cylinder..

Water and minerals travel from roots to shoot of a plant through Xylem..

Vascular cylinder is composed of Vascular tissues ( Xylem and Phloem) and other associated tissue which supports them..
