They have a long root hair.

Explanation:

Root hair cells have a long 'root hair' to increase surface area for absorption of water meaning uptake will be faster and therefore more efficient

They are packed full of mitochondria, to provide energy, however, as the water is taken in by osmosis, this energy is not needed. (Instead,it is used in active transport).
