Question

According to the Ascent of Sap, the right movement of water is from

• A. Root hairs →Cortex→ Endodermis→ Xylem
• B. Cortex →Root hairs→ Xylem→ Endodermis
• C. Root hair →Xylem→ Cortex→ Endodermis
• D. Endodermis→ Xylem →Cortex→ Root hairs

Answer 1

The correct option is A Root hairs →Cortex→ Endodermis→ Xylem

The process of upward transportation of xylem sap from root hairs to leaves of the plant body through xylem vessels against the force of gravity is called the Ascent of Sap. The water is first absorbed by root hairs, then it comes to the cortex region from where it goes to endodermis and then to xylem which transports it to leaves.
