b) Apoplast
c) Imbibition
d) Active transport

View Answer

(b) Apoplast

Q7. Most of the movement in roots through apoplast is due to _______.
a) endodermal cells are loosely packed and hence no resistance to water movement
b) medullary cells are loosely packed and hence no resistance to water movement
