If a root cap was damaged, it might start to negatively affect the plant by causing it to grow randomly, not exceed to its usual uses, and more. For understanding, the root cap protects the growing in other plants such as their tips. If this is damaged, it can cause the plants to form differently or damaged as well.
Transpiration: process in which plants release water vapor into the air
Evaporation: process in which water changes to a vapor
Precipitation: water that falls from clouds toward the ground
Condensation: water vapor that cools down to form water droplets
Groundwater: flowing of rainwater downhill to form streams and rivers
