The root apex is provided with a protective covering, it is apical cap or root cap
A root apical meristem is protected by a root cap as it pushes through the abrasive soil. The root cap also secretes a polysaccharide slime that lubricates the soil around the tip of the root.
Cap root
Root pressure is significant in herbaceous plants whereas gymnosperms are very tall plants
Xerophytes definitly have their stoma on the BOTTOM of the leaf not the top, this is to minimise water loss through transpiration
The root tip is on the bottom of the Zone of elongation and the zone of elongation is where the cells are and the cells push the zone of elongation and the root tip gets the water and sends the water through the xylem into the plant. So the root tip get the water.
The root apex is provided with a protective covering, it is apical cap or root cap
The root cap protects the root from injury from rocks as the root grows through the soil.
The function of the root cap is to protect and cover the growing tip of the root.
The root cap originates from the apical meristem in the plant. The root cap is directly responsible for gravity perception in the plant.
Root cap epidermis's function is protection while that of root hair is absorption .
tap root develops from radicle of the embryo and every root apex is provided with root cap
The root word cap means to take or seize. This is shown in capable.

A root cap is a small cone of cells that protects the growing part of a root as it makes its way through the soil, the root cap is found covering the tip of a root. Right behind the root cap is the part of the root where most of the root's growth occurs.
