The driving force that pushes the root tip through the soil is due primarily to
A
A. continuous cell division in the root cap at the tip of the root.
B
B. continuous cell division just behind the root cap in the center of the apical meristem.
C
C. elongation of cells behind the root apical meristem.
D
A and B only.
E
A, B, and C.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The driving force that pushes the root tip through the soil is due primarily to elongation of the cells behind the root apical meristem in the zone of elongation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The driving force that pushes the root tip through the soil is due primarily to: elongation of cells behind the root apical meristem.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is the driving force that pushes the root tip through the soil? Elongation of the root apical meristem.

Detailed explanation-4: -Apical meristems give rise to the primary plant body and are responsible for the extension of the roots and shoots.

Detailed explanation-5: -RAM, root apical meristem or root apex is the region at the root’s tip, where all the cells are capable of repeated division. Also, it is the region from which all the primary root tissues are derived.
