Many transplanted seedling do not grow because 

(a) the new soil does not contain favourable minerals 

(b) most of the root hair grip the new soil too hard 

(c) most of the root hairs are lost during transplantation 

(d) leaves get damaged during transplantation

(c) During a transplant the fine roots are destroyed due to the jostling during the uprooting process. These root hairs come under a shock. The plant which has been transplanted either takes time to readjust to the new soil or dries up and dies due to the root hair loss.
