Question

Which of the following pairs is/are correct?
(A) Main root - Storage
(B) Lateral root - Absorption
(C) Root hair - Conduction

• A. All are correct
• B. A and B
• C. Only A
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

A and B

The region of cell differentiation or maturation is differentiated into root hairs. Most of the water absorption occurs through this region.

The roots are modified to form storage roots such as conical, fusiform, napiform, tuberous

Lateral roots extend horizontally from the primary root and this contributes to water uptake and nutrient uptake.

So, the correct option is 'A and B'
