Solution

The correct option is C Esau
Hydathodes were termed water stomata by Esau. A hydathode is a type of secretory tissue in leaves. They probably evolved from modified stomata. Hydathodes are made of a group of living cells with numerous intercellular spaces filled with water, but few or no chloroplasts and represent modified bundle-ends. These cells open out into one or more sub-epidermal chambers. These, in turn, communicate with the exterior through an open water stoma or open pore. Hydathodes are involved in the process of guttation.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
