what is the function of cortex in apoplastic or symplast movement of water
Open in App
Solution
In the apoplastic pathway, the major portion of the water flows in the root cortex as the cortical cells are loosely packed and thus, the cortex offers no resistance. The apoplastic movement beyond the cortex is blocked by the casparian strip present in the endodermis.
