Most of the water flow in the roots occurs via the apoplast since the cortical cells are closely packed

Which of the following is true/false regarding transport of substances in plants ? (i) Mass flow is the movement of substances in bulk as a result of pressure difference (ii) Bulk flow is achieved only through a positive hydrostatic pressure gradient (iii) The apoplast system is the system of interconnected protoplasts (iv) Most of the water flow in the roots occurs via the apoplast since the cortical cells are loosely packed, and offer no resistance to water movement.

Most of the flows in the roots as

Most water flow in root occurs via apoplast as

Most of the water flow in the root takes place via the apoplast because

Most of the water found in the young cell occurs in

Assertion :- Most of the water flow in major part of roots occurs via the apoplastic path. Reason:- Cortex, largest region of root offer no resistance to water due to intercellular space

How does most of the water moves within the root ?
