NEET · Biology · STD 11 - 5. Morphology flowering plants
In angiosperms, root hairs arise from which one of the following regions of the root ?
- A The root cap zone
- B The region of meristematic activity
- C The region of elongation.
- D The region of maturation
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) The region of maturation
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(D)The region of maturation
The root is divided into different regions from the apex to the base: the root cap, the region of meristematic activity, the region of elongation, and the region of maturation.
The cells of the elongation zone gradually differentiate and mature to form the region of maturation. From the epidermal cells of the region of maturation, very fine and delicate, thread-like structures called root hairs arise.
These root hairs significantly increase the surface area for the absorption of water and minerals from the soil.
