protection for growth
help penetrate soil
root hairs
hair like that increase absorption area

detects gravity
cells are meristematic and tiny
develop dense starch grains

outermost cells available in zone of elongation
the quiescent center
central region that is mitotically inactive
four diffusion paths a molecule follows through root epidermis
