Question

Which of the following part of dicot root is made up of cells with suberin deposition in tangential as well as radial walls? (A) Epidermis (B) Endodermis (C) Cortex (D) Pericycle

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Endodermis is the inner boundary of the cortex and is single layered. It is made up of barrel-shaped cells which do not enclose intercellular spaces. The young endodermal cells possess an internal strip of suberin and lignin which is known as Casparian strip. Stem endodermis lacks this strip
