In dicot roots, the outermost layer is called the epiblema. The epiblema is also known as the piliferous layer or root hair zone. It is responsible for the absorption of water and minerals from the soil. The epiblema is a single layer of cells located just outside the cortex of the root. It contains root hairs, which are elongated projections that increase the surface area for nutrient absorption. 

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
