A.
endodermis of roots facilitating rapid transport of water from cortex to pericycle
In roots, endodermis is the innermost layer of cortex. Some of the endodermal cells present opposite to the xylem patches are thin walled and are called passage cells or transfusion cells. Passage cells help in transfer of water and dissolved salts from cortex directly into the xylem and ultimately to the pericycle.
