Answer : Soil water, Root hair, cortical cells, endodermis, xylem.(i) Active immunity, Antigen, Antibody, Bacteria, Lymphocytes (defence mechanism of the body).
(ii) Implantation, Parturition, Ovulation, Gestation, Fertilisation (stages leading to formation of foetus and birth).
(iii) Oval window, Tympanum, Cochlea, Auditory canal, Ear ossicles (path through which a vibration of sound is transferred in the human ear).
