Question

Identify the correct order.
$1$. Mineral absorption zone.
$2$. Meristematic zone.
$3$. Maturation zone.
$4$. Water absorption zone.

• A. $2,1,4,3$
• B. $4,3,2,1$
• C. $2,4,1,3$
• D. $1,2,3,4$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $2,1,4,3$

Answer is option A i.e. "2,1,4,3"
Four zones in the root from apex to base are arranged in the sequence. Firstly, new root tips grow continuously throughout the life of the plant which is due to Meristematic zone. This in later growth phases provide the surfaces through which most of the nutrients and water move, hence followed by Mineral absorption zone and Water absorption zone and finally forming Maturation zone.
