Which risk increases for a drought-stressed plant when root endodermis Casparian strips become damaged?

💡 Explanation

Damage to endodermis disrupts the Casparian strip, circumventing regulated ion uptake; therefore uncontrolled apoplastic flow increases pathogen access because of absent filtration, rather than restricted nutrient uptake under osmotic turgor regulation.
