Q. Correct pathway of water movement in plant roots is:

(a) Soil water→  Root hair cell → Passage cells →Cortical cells →  Xylem → Pericycle

(b) Soil water → Root hair cell → Pericycle → Cortical cells → Passage cells → Xylem

(c) Soil water → Root hair cell → Cortical cells → Passage cells → Pericycle → Xylem

(d) Soil water → Root hair cell → Cortical cell → Pericycle → Passage cells → Xylem

Solution :

Correct option :C Soil water → Root hair cell → Cortical cells → Passage cells → Pericycle → Xylem
Water moves from soil to root hair cell and then to cortical cell. It then passes through passage cells, pericycle and xylem.
