Q. Identify the correct order of the following four zones in the root from apex to base. I. Mineral absorption zone II.Meristematic zone III.Maturation zone IV.Water absorption zone
A) II, III, IV and I
B) IV, III, II and I
C) II, IV, I and III
D) I, II, IV and III
Explanation
Below root cap, the area of new cell formation is called meristematic zone. Behind meristematic zone is the area of cell enlargement. Below this zone, the absorption of water and then mineral takes place. This water and mineral absorption come under the zone of maturation.
