Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are
A

Root cap has no role in absorption because it has no root hair

C

Water available to the plants is by capillary action

Root cap has no role in absorption because it has no root hair. In plants, water supply does not occur due to guttation. It occurs due to osmosis. Water available to the plants is by capillary action. Wilting of the plant does not occur when phloem is blocked. It occurs when xylem is blocked.
