Solution

The correct option is A Root cap
  • The root apical meristem gives rise to three primary meristems- procambium, ground meristem, protoderm and the root cap
  • Calyptrogen is a specialized internal meristematic cell derived from the root apical meristem
  • They divide internally to produce a protective cap-like structure at the root tip called the root cap
  • The root cap is also known as calyptra
So, the correct answer is 'Root cap'
