Vedclass · Answer

(A) The root is covered at the apex by a thimble-like structure called the $Root cap$.Just above the $Root cap$ is the $Region of meristematic activity$, where cells divide repeatedly.The cells proximal to this region undergo rapid elongation and enlargement and are referred to as the $Region of elongation$.The cells of the elongation zone gradually differentiate and mature, forming the $Region of maturation$.Therefore, the correct sequence from the tip upwards is: $Root cap ightarrow 	ext{Region of meristematic activity} ightarrow 	ext{Region of elongation} ightarrow 	ext{Region of maturation}$.
