What does the root 'trich' refer to?

  1. Over technique

  2. Hair

  3. Condition

  4. The study of something

The correct answer is: Hair

The root 'trich' is derived from the Greek word "thrix", meaning hair. This root is commonly used in medical terminology, such as in the words trichology (the study of hair and scalp) and trichotillomania (a psychological disorder involving hair pulling). Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the meaning of the root 'trich'.
