Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
in apoplastic pathway, water moves through the
A
plasmodesmata
B
cell wall
C
mesophyll
D
sieve tube elements
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In apoplast pathway water moves through cell wall without crossing any membrane.So, the correct option is ‘apoplast pathway’

Detailed explanation-2: -In the apoplast pathway, water is transported from root hair to xylem through the cell wall of intervening cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the apoplast pathway (apoplastic route), water moves through the spaces between the cells and in the cells walls themselves. In the symplast pathway (symplastic route), water passes from cytoplasm to cytoplasm through plasmodesmata (Figure 17.1.

Detailed explanation-4: -Solution : Apoplast pathway consists of non-living parts of plant body ‘i.e.‘ cell walls and intercellular spaces. In apoplast pathway, water passes from root hair to xylem through the walls of intervening cells without crossing any membrane or cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-5: -The apoplast comprises the intercellular space, the cell walls, and the xylem.
