Answer

Mineral molecules are more concentrated inside the root hair cells than in the soil outside. Still, root hair cells absorb them. For this, they use the process of active transport. The movement of minerals ions from a region of their lower concentration to a region of their higher concentration is called active transport. This process involves the use of energy in the form of ATP.
