Answer 2

The root tip is covered by a cap-like structure called the Calyptra

Explanation:

• The calyptra is generally a cone-shaped or hood-like structure found in the root tips of plants.
• The main function of calyptra is to protect the delicate stem cells in the roots.
• It also helps receive and transmit signals from the environment to the growing root.
• It protects the fragile apical meristem from abrasion when a plant grows through the soil.
• This calyptra or root cap produces a slimy layer of mucilage, known as mucigel that lubricates the root ends.
