Solution

The correct option is D Hydrophytes
Root cap is generally absent in aquatic plants, that is hydrophytes. Root cap protects the growing tip of roots from the soil. In hydrophytes, roots are either absent or poorly developed. However, in floating aquatic plants, root cap is replaced with root pockets. For example, in Lemna, Pistia, and Eichhornia.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
