Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Casparian strip is a band of waxy material that surrounds the endodermal cells in the roots of plants. It prevents water and other substances from moving freely between cells and instead forces them to pass through the cytoplasm and membranes of the endodermal cells before entering the central cylinder of the root. This helps the plant to regulate the uptake of water and nutrients, as well as provides a physical barrier against toxins and pathogens.
