Solution

The correct option is B Pistia
Root cap is a cap of loosely arranged cells which cover the apex of the growing point of a root and protects it as it grows through the soil. Root cap is absent in hydrophytes instead root pockets are present in them. Pistia is a hydrophyte where root pockets are present. Pandanus has multiple root caps.
