Answer:
Most of the water flow
in the root occur via the apoplast pathway since, the cortical cells are loosely
packed and hence offer no resistance to water movement, which is through
massflow. This mass flow of water occurs due to adhesive and cohesive
properties of water.
However, symplast
pathway is also involved in the movement of water molecules within the root
(i.e., via endodermis to xylem).
