Chapter 44, Problem 7MC
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The root comprises of living cells, extracellular space which is full of cell walls of non-porous root cells and the xylem. The water travels across the epidermis and cortex by two pathways such as extracellular and intracellular. The extracellular pathway includes extracellular spaces and pathway and intercellular pathway includes transportation through the plasma.
