Detailed explanation-1: -In the apoplast pathway, water is transported from root hair to xylem through the cell wall of intervening cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Symplastic movement of water requires the movement of water through the cell. In this path, the water enters the cell and travels via plasmodesmata. In apoplastic movement the water does not enter the cell and the movement happens in the intercellular spaces and between the cell wall and the cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -The apoplastic movement of water occurs exclusively through the intercellular spaces and the walls of the cells, depending on the water gradient. Q. Assertion :During apoplastic movement of water, water travels through the cells and their cytoplasm.

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 is the route the water moves through the cell walls and intercellular space of the root cortex.
