Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mineral nutrients are mainly absorbed by the roots of plants through specialized cells called root hairs. The roots provide a large surface area for absorption of minerals and water from the soil, which are then transported through the vascular tissue to other parts of the plant. Mineral nutrients are not absorbed directly from the leaves, stems, or digested food molecules.
