  • Plasmodesmata (singular, plasmodesma) are small,channel-like structures that directly connect the cytoplasm of one cell with the neighbouring plant cells to, establish living bridges between cells.
  • They enable transport and communication between the adjacent cells.
  • They act as the fine cytoplasmic strands that connect the protoplasts of adjacent plant cells by passing through the cell walls.
  • The plasmodesmata, like animal cell gap junctions, penetrate both the primary and secondary cell walls, enabling certain molecules to move directly between cells and play a crucial role in cellular communication.

Therefore, the correct option is (2).
