Organelles in root hair cells?

Question is:

State the name of an organelle you would expect to be present in large numbers in a root hair cell?

Anyone able to think of any?

Thanks
Lots of mitochondria to produce energy in the form of ATP needed for active transport.

Could I also say Ribosomes which would be needed to root hair cell growth to maximise surface area for absorption of water and mineral ions?

Yes that sounds plausible
