Introduction: The root endodermis is made up of some suberin containing cells that are arranged in the form of strips, called the Casparian strips. These cells are present in the roots of both monocots and dicots. The suberin in the Casparian strip forms an impermeable layer that only allows the transport of certain ions and water.
