Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three tissue systems of the mature root, in order from outside to inside, are dermal tissue (which includes the epidermis and root hairs), ground tissue (which includes the cortex and endodermis), and vascular tissue (which includes the xylem and phloem). The protoderm differentiates into the dermal tissue, the ground meristem differentiates into the ground tissue, and the procambium differentiates into the vascular tissue. Therefore, the correct order of tissue systems is dermal, ground, and vascular, which is only found in option A.
