A root is absorbing water from the soil. Which route will the water travel inside the root?

ACambium --> phloem --> xylem --> stele --> endodermis --> cortex --> epidermis
BXylem --> phloem --> endodermis --> stele --> epidermis --> cortex --> cambium
CEpidermis --> cortex --> endodermis --> stele --> xylem --> phloem --> cambium

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The route that the water travel inside the plant would be as follows:
Cambium --> phloem --> xylem --> stele --> endodermis --> cortex --> epidermis 

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Answer:

The answer is option C.

Explanation:

Plants absorb water through roots from the soil by the osmosis. Water enters in the root through the epidermis of root hairs to the cortex and enters in the endodermis from there water travels up to the xylem via stele. Water uptake can be facilitated by the two pathways: the apoplast pathway or the symplast pathway. Water uptake continues from xylem to phloem to cambium. So the correct answer is-

C. Epidermis --> cortex --> endodermis --> stele --> xylem --> phloem --> cambium
