__________can enter plants through entire surface of plant body. However, the bulk of water is absorbed by land plants through the __________. Root hairs are in contact with__________. These provide a large __________ for water absorption. Absorbed water is transported to the__________ and endodermis. Internal to the__________ is a single layer of pericycle. The protoxylem elements of xylem lie in __________to the pericycle. This way a direct__________ is formed for the passage of water from the root hair cells to the __________.
- Water can enter plants through entire surface of plant body.
- However, the bulk of water is absorbed by land plants through the roots.
- Root hairs are in contact with soil particles.
- These provide a large surface area for water absorption.
- Absorbed water is transported to the cortex and endodermis.
- Internal to the endodermis is a single layer of pericycle.
- The protoxylem elements of xylem lie in opposite to the pericycle.
- This way a direct channel is formed for the passage of water from the root hair cells to the xylem.
Final answer:
Water can enter plants through entire surface of plant body. However, the bulk of water is absorbed by land plants through the roots. Root hairs are in contact with soil particles. These provide a large surface area for water absorption. Absorbed water is transported to the cortex and endodermis. Internal to the endodermis is a single layer of pericycle. The protoxylem elements of xylem lie in opposite to the pericycle. This way a direct channel is formed for the passage of water from the root hair cells to the xylem.
