Answer 2

Answer:

The root cap is a type of tissue at the tip of a plant root. It is also called calyptra.

If the cap is carefully removed the root will grow randomly.

The root cap protects the growing tip in plants.

reason: Due to the availability of water in plenty, roots, the principal organs of water absorption, in such plants become of less significance. In aquatic plants or hydrophytes, roots caps are absent and root pockets are present.

E.g., in Eichhornia, root caps are replaced by root pockets.
