Yes:

The Root-hair Region

The root hair region occurs a short distance above the region of elongation. Here a large number of fine, hair-like outgrowths are formed. The root hairs arise from the epidermal tissue of the root and are called root hairs. The root hairs are short and short-lived and develop on the primary and secondary roots. A root-hair consists of the following parts: a thin cell wall, a thin lining of cytoplasm which contains the nucleus and a comparatively large vacuole containing cell sap.

Function

* The main function of the root hairs is to increase the area of absorption of the root.
