Question

Many transplanted seedings may not survive because

• A. They do not like the new soil.
• B. They do not get required mineral salt.
• C. Most of the root hair are lost during transplantation.
• D. The leaves get damaged.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Most of the root hair are lost during transplantation.

Root hair are important for absorption of water and minerals. If root hairs are damaged during transplantation absorption of water and minerals will suffer. Hence, transplanted seedling may not survive.

So, the correct answer is 'Most of the root hair are lost during transplantation.'
