Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water moves through the plant root cells by passing through the plasma membranes and cell walls, and then via transfer cells, into the vascular tissue. Water then climbs up the xylem in the stem until it reaches the leaves. The Casparian strip is a barrier made up of a waxy substance called suberin that surrounds the root endodermis and ensures that water and minerals must enter and leave through the selective plasma-membrane transport. Therefore, water does not move through the Casparian strip.
