Question

Root cap has no role in absorption because it has:

• A. no direct connection with the vascular system
  
• B. loosely-arranged cells
  
• C. no cells containing chloroplasts
  
• D. no root hair

Answer 1

The correct option is D

no root hair

The function of root hairs is to collect water and mineral nutrients present in the soil and take this solution up through the roots to the rest of the plant. As root hair cells are absent in root cap, absorption doesn't take place
