Unicellular root hair arises from which part of Dicot root?
Options
- APericycle
- BEpiblema
- CCortex
- DHypodermis
Correct answer
B. Epiblema
Step-by-step solution
The outermost layer is epiblema. Many of the cells of epiblema protrude in the form of unicellular root hairs. The cortex consists of several layers of thin-walled parenchyma cells with intercellular spaces. The innermost layer of the cortex is called endodermis. It comprises a single layer of barrel-shaped cells without any intercellular spaces. The tangential as well as radial walls of the endodermal cells have a deposition of water-impermeable, waxy material suberin in the form of casparian strips. Next to endod
