Vedclass · Accepted Answer

Monocot root

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The endodermis is the innermost layer of the cortex in roots. In many monocot roots,the endodermal cells opposite to the protoxylem are thin-walled and lack the Casparian strips (suberin deposition). These specialized cells are known as passage cells. They facilitate the movement of water and dissolved solutes from the cortex into the vascular cylinder (stele). Therefore,passage cells are a characteristic feature of the endodermis in monocot roots.
