I'm stuck trying to name a plant part and hope someone will help with
the answer. On a floating plant, what are those fine, hair-like
structures on the roots that absorb nutrients from the water? ..........
They are called, simply, root hairs. For some reason, "they" never
came up with a fancier name.
