Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water enters the plant through root hairs, which are present in the epidermis. It then moves inward through the cortex, where it encounters the endodermis, which has a band of cells called the Casparian strip that blocks the apoplastic pathway and forces water to enter the symplastic pathway. Finally, the water enters the xylem, which transports it upward to the rest of the plant. Therefore, the correct sequence of structures through which water passes into a root is epidermis, cortex, endodermis, xylem.
