Question

explain the role of casparian strips found in the plant roots in the apoplast and symplast pathways of water transport.

Answer 1

Inside a plant, the apoplast is the space outside the plasma membrane within which material can diffuse freely. It is interrupted by the Casparian strip in roots, by air spaces between plant cells and by the plant cuticle. ... The apoplastic route facilitates the transport of water and solutes across a tissue or organ.
