If root endodermis Casparian strips fail due to mutation, which event overwhelms xylem?

💡 Explanation

Uncontrolled water and solute infusion overwhelms xylem because the Casparian strip regulates ion and water uptake via apoplast; therefore, excess solution enters, rather than regulated absorption which is vital for water potential.
