Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The endodermis is a layer of cells surrounding the vascular tissue in roots. These cells have Casparian strips in their cell walls which prevent water and nutrients from freely flowing between cells, forcing them to pass through the selectively permeable plasma membranes. The endodermis also has cell walls impregnated with suberin, which makes them water-repellent and helps to control the movement of solutes and water into the vascular tissue.
