Solution

The correct option is A

Both A & R are true and R explains A


The final structure of the cells is also determined by the location of cell. the cells dividing in the root meristem are either pushed ahead to the front of the root apical meristem, or they are pushed to the side towards the periphery. If they are pushed to the leading edge, they form the root cap and the cells that are pushed to the periphery develop into the root epidermis. This form of cell differentiation that has both the determinate and indeterminate aspects is called open differentiation.
