NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Water moves from soil to root hair cell and then to cortical cell. It then passes through passage cells, pericycle and xylem.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pathways of Water Movement. Water can move through the roots by three separate pathways: apoplast, symplast, and transmembrane (transcellular). In the apoplast pathway (apoplastic route), water moves through the spaces between the cells and in the cells walls themselves.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pathway of water from the soil through the plant to the atmosphere is best represented by: Root hairs-cortex-endodermis-vessel elements-intercellular spaces in mesophyll –stomata.
