That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The visible part of the hair is called the shaft. The shaft is the portion of the hair that extends above the surface of the skin. It is composed of dead cells that have been pushed up from the hair follicle. The shaft is what we see and can touch when we look at or feel our hair. The root, follicle, and cortex are all important parts of the hair, but they are not visible to the naked eye.
