were only few green and most colourless
cells. Teacher provided a pink colour

Answers
The transverse section of a typical
dicotyledonous root shows following
anatomical features. The outermost single layer
of cells without cuticle is Epiblema. Some of
its cells are prolonged into unicellular root hair.
Next to it is the Cortexwhich consists of several
layers of typical parenchymatous cells. After
the death of epiblema, outer layer of cortex
become cutinized and is called Exodermis.
The cortical cells store food and water. The
innermost layer of cortex is called Endodermis.
