Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion. Plant cells are surrounded by a cellulosic cell wall which is dead at maturity. The cell wall grows only till maturity. The cell wall grows through intussusception and apposition. Intussusception is growth by deposition of new materials between existing components of cell walls. Cell elongation also occurs through intussusception. In apposition, new wall layers are laid and growth of wall in new cells occurs.
