Vedclass · Answer

(D) The Casparian strip is a band of cell wall material deposited in the radial and transverse walls of the endodermis in roots.It is composed of suberin,a water-impermeable waxy substance.This strip blocks the apoplastic pathway of water movement,forcing water to enter the symplastic pathway to reach the vascular cylinder (stele).Therefore,the correct location is the endodermis.
