## CORE INFORMATION\n✓ **Answer**: B\n## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK\n\t**Primary Concept**: Cuticle presence and function in plants.\n\t**Related Topics**: Plant tissues, plant adaptations, water regulation.\n\t**Prerequisites**: Basic knowledge of plant anatomy and the role of cuticles.\n## SOLUTION PATHWAY\n**Given Information**:\n\tThe question asks where the cuticle is absent.\n\tThe options are different plant parts.\n**Method & Steps**:\n\t1. Recall the function of the cuticle: It's a waxy layer that prevents water loss.\n\t2. Recall where the cuticle is typically present: On aerial parts of plants (leaves, stems).\n\t3. Recall the structure of roots: Young roots are primarily involved in water absorption and do not have a cuticle.\n\t4. Determine the correct answer: The cuticle is absent in young roots.\n\t\tReasoning: Young roots need to absorb water and minerals, and a cuticle would hinder this process.\n\t\tResult: Young roots.\n## OPTION ANALYSIS\n[A] :x: Mesophytes are plants that grow in environments with moderate water availability and have a cuticle.\n[B] ✓: Young roots lack a cuticle to facilitate water absorption.\n[C] :x: Mature stems often have a cuticle to prevent water loss.\n[D] :x: Leaves have a cuticle to prevent water loss.\n## LEARNING AIDS\n\t**Common Mistakes**:\n\t\t1. Confusing the presence of the cuticle in different plant parts: Remember that the cuticle is mainly on aerial parts.\n\t\t2. Forgetting the function of the cuticle: It prevents water loss and is not needed in young roots.\n\t**Quick Tips**:\n\t\t1. Think about the primary function of each plant part when answering these questions.\n\t\t2. Remember that roots are primarily for absorption, while leaves and stems are for photosynthesis and support, respectively.\n

The correct Option is "young roots"
