The path of water from the soil in to the xylem of the root is:
Soil - root hair - endodermis - cortex - pericycle - xylem
Soil - root hair - cortex - endodermis - pericycle - protoxylem - metaxylem
Soil -root hair -cortex - endodermis - pericycle - metaxylem - protoxylem
Soil - cortex - root hair - pericycle - metaxylem - protoxylem
The correct path of water is soil-root hair-cortex-endodermis-pericycle-proto xylem-metaxylem.
The path of water from soil in to the xylem of the root is
Water from the soil enters the root xylem by the process
