Detailed explanation-1: -In the symplastic pathway, the movement of water is in between the cytoplasm and the vacuoles through the plasma membranes and plasmodesmata and beyond the cortex of plant cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the symplast pathway (symplastic route), water passes from cytoplasm to cytoplasm through plasmodesmata (Figure 17.1.
Detailed explanation-3: -In symplastic pathway, water enters cells through plasmodesmata and travels through the cytoplasm.
Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct option is ‘plasmodesmata’.
Detailed explanation-5: -On the cellular level, water can be transported between cells through plasmodesmata (symplastic path), intercellular spaces (apoplastic path), or across membranes (transcellular path).
