Question

The Casparian strip is found

• A. Within the secondary wall of parenchyma cells
• B. On four sides of endodermal cells
• C. Between xylem and phloem cells
• D. Between all epidermal cells

Answer 1

The correct option is B On four sides of endodermal cells

The Casparian strip is found around the endodermal cell walls or four sides of the endodermal cells of plant roots whose function is to prevent water from entering the pericycle except through the cytoplasm of endodermal cells and also helps in producing root pressure. So, the correct answer is "on the four sides of endodermal cells".
