Solution
The correct option is B Root cells
- In plants, transpiration is the process by which water and solutes are taken up by the roots and transported via the xylem to the leaves.
- First the water passes from the soil to the root by osmosis.
- Then, to enter the xylem vessels, the water either goes through the root cortex cells (between the root hairs and the xylem vessels) or bypasses them by going through their cell walls.
- After this, the water moves up in the xylem vessels up to the leaves.
So, the correct answer is option B.
