What essential role does the root endodennis play during mineral absorption in plants? 

Answer:

The endodermis of roots have many transport proteins embedded in their plasma membrane. They let some solutes cross the membrane but not all. Transport proteins in endodermis cells enable plant cells to adjust the quantity and types of solutes to be absorbed from the soil. It regulators the quantity and type of minerals and ions. That reach the xylem tissue of plants.
