WHAT DOES ENDODERMIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Endodermis

The endodermis is the central, innermost layer of cortex in some land plants. It is made of compact living cells surrounded by an outer ring of endodermal cells that are impregnated with hydrophobic substances to restrict apoplastic flow of water to the inside. The endodermis is the boundary between the cortex and the stele. In many seedless vascular plants, the endodermis is a distinctly visible layer of cells immediately outside the vascular cylinder in roots and shoots. In most seed plants, especially woody types, an endodermis is absent from the stems but is present in roots. The endodermis helps regulate the movement of water, ions and hormones into and out of the vascular system. It may also store starch, be involved in perception of gravity and protect the plant against toxins moving into the vascular system.

Definition of endodermis in the English dictionary

The definition of endodermis in the dictionary is the specialized innermost layer of cortex in roots and some stems, which controls the passage of water and dissolved substances between the cortex and stele.
