B) If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
C) If the assertion is true but the reason is false
D) If both the assertion and reason are false
E) If the assertion is false but reason is true
Correct Answer: B

In floating aquatic plants the root apices possess finger glove-like coverings called root pockets instead of root cap.
