The pericycle, a layer of cells located outside the endodermis in plants, is responsible for the development of lateral roots which grow vertically into the soil to help with water and nutrient absorption.
the inner layer ---> novanet
The endodermis is found in the layers of cells found in plants
n. A plant tissue characteristic of the roots, located between the endodermis and phloem.
The endodermis and the pericycle are unique to roots.
The plant develops deep, slender, black roots

The endodermis is found in the layers of cells found in plants
The endodermis is a single layer of cells located in the roots of plants. It is responsible for controlling the movement of water and nutrients into the vascular tissue of the plant. The endodermis also plays a role in regulating the passage of substances through its cell walls.

The plant develops deep, slender, black roots
Passage cells in the endodermis of roots help in the radial transport of water and nutrients by facilitating the movement of substances across the endodermal layer. They are involved in regulating the passage of ions and molecules into the stele of the root.

The radicle is the name
The casparian strip is a waterproof barrier in the endodermis of plant roots that blocks the passive flow of water and minerals between cells. This ensures selective uptake of essential nutrients and prevents harmful substances from entering the stele.
