Answer:
Air is present in between
the particles of the soil. The roots take the oxygen by the process of
diffusion. Oxygen first diffuses into the root hairs and reaches all other
cells of the root for respiration. CO2 produced in the cells moves
out through the root. hairs by the process of diffusion. For respiration, in
older roots, where root hair is not present, the exchange of gases takes place
through lenticels (tiny openings in the protective layer) by the process of
diffusion.
