What is the portion of the hair beneath the skin surface called?

Hair follicle
Hair strand
Hair root
Hair tip

The correct answer is: Hair root

The portion of the hair beneath the skin surface is called the hair root. The hair root is the part of the hair that is located below the surface of the skin and is responsible for anchoring the hair into the hair follicle. It is essential for nourishing the hair strand and facilitating hair growth. In contrast, the hair strand refers to the visible part of the hair above the skin's surface. The hair tip is the end of the hair strand. The term "hair follicle" refers to the structure from which the hair grows but does not specifically denote the portion of the hair beneath the skin surface.
