Q.
Identify $A,B$ and $C$ in the given diagram
A) A-Region of maturation, B-Region of elongation, C-Region of meristemastic activity
B) A-Region of elongation, B-Region of maturation, C-Region of meristematic activity
C) A-Region of meristematic, B-Region of maturation, C-Region of elongation activity
D) A-Region of meristematic, B-Region of elongation, C-Region of maturation
Explanation
The cells of the elongation zone gradually differentiate and mature. Hence, this zone, proximal to the region of elongation, is called the region of maturation. From this region, some of the epidermal cells form very fine and delicate, thread-like structures called root hairs. These root hairs absorb water and minerals from the soil [image:5_image86.png]
