Q. No.All the following statements regarding the anatomy of a typical dicotyledonous root are correct except:
| 1. | Many cells of the epiblema protrude in the form of unicellular root hairs. |
| 2. | The innermost layer of the cortex is called as the endodermis. |
| 3. | Pericycle is made up of collenchymatous cells. |
| 4. | Parenchymatous conjunctive tissue lies between the xylem and phloem. |

Regarding endodermis of dicot roots:
| I: | It comprises a single layer of pear-shaped cells with well-developed intercellular spaces. |
| II: | The tangential as well as radial walls of the endodermal cells have a deposition of water-impermeable, waxy material suberin in the form of casparian strips. |
| 1. | I is correct; II is correct |

Consider the given two statements:
| Assertion (A): | The presence of a casparian strip is characteristic of the endodermis in plant roots. |
| Reason (R): | The casparian strip is made up of cellulose and pectin which helps in regulating the flow of substances into the vascular tissue. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
