(b) The pathway of water movement inside a root is of two types; apoplast pathway and symplast pathway. In symplastic movement, the flow of water occurs from cell to cell through their protoplasm. In this pathway, the adjacent cells are connected through plasmodesmata. In this system, water has to pass through plasmalemma least at one place. Symplastic moment may be aided by cytoplasmic streaming |
