Question

In the given schematic diagram, pathway of water movement inside the root is shown from soil to xylem. Identify the tissue involved in the steps A-C and choose the correct option accordingly.

• A. A – Hypodermis, B – Medullary rays, C – Metaxylem
• B. A – Cortex, B – Pericycle, C – Metaxylem
• C. A – Pericycle, B – Cortex, C – Metaxylem
• D. A – Hypodermis, B – Cortex, C – Vascular tissues.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

A – Cortex, B – Pericycle, C – Metaxylem

This is the pathway followed during the passage of water after it is absorbed from the root hair to the Xylem vessels.
