Detailed explanation-1: -Nowadays, the apoplast is defined as the intercellular space filled with gas and water, contained between cell membranes, the interfibrillar and intermicellar space of the cell walls, and the xylem extending to the rhizoplane and cuticle of the outer plant surface (Figure 1).
Detailed explanation-2: -Solution: The apoplast does not provide any barrier to water movement is through mass flow.
Detailed explanation-3: -The apoplast is the space that is present outside the plasma membrane within which material can disperse freely. The apoplastic pathway involves the transportation of water from root hair to xylem through the cell wall of intervening cells. A major quantity of water in the root cortex moves by apoplast.
