Question

A root is absorbing water from the soil. Which route will the water travel inside the root? A. Cambium --> phloem --> xylem --> stele --> endodermis --> cortex --> epidermis/// B. Xylem --> phloem --> endodermis --> stele --> epidermis --> cortex --> cambium ///C. Epidermis --> cortex --> endodermis --> stele --> xylem --> phloem --> cambium

Answer 1

Option B, Xylem --> phloem --> endodermis --> stele --> epidermis --> cortex --> cambium ///

Step-by-step explanation:

The start of water transportation via roots takes place through the Xylem as these are the specialized cell in roots to intake water from the ground. These cells are arranged in the form of layer and filters the water before transporting. After the filtration in Xylem, water then passes to phloem (which are also part of conducting system of plants and runs parallel to the xylem). After the phloem, water then goes to the central part of the root which is known as stele and then it reaches the epidermis. From epidermis , absorbed water then goes to the cortex of other tissues and organ and finally it reaches the cambium.

Hence, option B is correct

Answer 2

The router through which water will travel inside the root is Xylem --> phloem --> endodermis --> stele --> epidermis --> cortex --> cambium. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B". I hope that this is the answer you were looking for and it has helped you.
