Which consequence results when endodermal casparian strips are non-functional in plant roots?

💡 Explanation

Uncontrolled loss results because the non-functional casparian strip allows apoplastic water movement. Bypassing selective cellular uptake causes unregulated release; therefore uncontrolled loss occurs rather than controlled mineral ion uptake because selective transport won't function in the stele.
