The root apex is provided with a protective covering, it is apical cap or root cap
root cap
Because it protects the growing root tip
root cap: is a section of tissue at the tip of a plant root meristem: is a tissue in a most plant consisting undifferiantiated cells
The plant root system is made of various regions of tissues. These are root cap at the apex, the meristem of actively dividing cells, root hair zone and cell elongation and maturation zone having vascular tissue etc.

I think you mean the calyptra, or root-cap. However, rather than being a tough layer, it contains liquified cells that lubricate soil patricles.it is called a root cap.
The very tip of the root is the root cap, a thimblelike cone of cells that protects the delicate, actively dividing cells of the apical meristem. The root's apical meristem has two roles: It replaces the cells of the root cap that are scraped away by the soil, and it produces the cells for primary growth. Cells produced during primary growth form three concentric cylinders of developing tissue (Figure 20-13). The outermost cylinder develops into the dermal tissue of the root. The middle cylinder-the bulk of the root tip-develops into the root's cortex (ground tissue). The innermost cylinder becomes the vascular tissue. -Exploring life, Biology Textbook
Protective tissue can be found on the outermost layer of a plant. This tissue is covered with cutin and protects underlying tissues within the plant.

Protective tissue
The root cap protects the root from injury from rocks as the root grows through the soil.
