(C) The endodermis is the innermost layer of the cortex in roots. It is characterized by the presence of Casparian strips on its radial and tangential walls. These strips are composed of a water-impermeable,waxy substance called $suberin$. $Suberin$ prevents the movement of water and dissolved solutes through the cell walls,forcing them to pass through the plasma membrane into the cytoplasm,which allows the plant to regulate the uptake of water and minerals.
