Correct Answer: Root


Solution : The correct option is roots.

The cuticle, a waxy, protective covering found on the outer surface of plant aerial parts such as leaves and stems, is usually missing or considerably reduced in roots. Roots, unlike above-ground plant components, are specialised for water and mineral absorption from the soil and do not require a cuticle to prevent water loss or excessive transpiration.
