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