  3. Endodermis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endodermis

    The endodermis is the boundary between the cortex and the stele. In many seedless plants, such as ferns, the endodermis is a distinct layer of cells immediately outside the vascular cylinder (stele) in roots and shoots. In most seed plants, especially woody types, the endodermis is present in roots but not in stems.

  4. Cork cambium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cork_cambium

    Cork cambium of woody stem . It is different from the main vascular cambium , which is the ring between the wood ( xylem ) on the inside (top) and the red bast ( phloem ) outside it. Cork cambium ( pl. : cambia or cambiums ) is a tissue found in many vascular plants as a part of the epidermis .

  5. Cortex (botany) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortex_(botany)

    In woody plants, the cortex is located between the periderm (bark) and the vascular tissue (phloem, in particular). It is responsible for the transportation of materials into the central cylinder of the root through diffusion and may also be used for storage of food in the form of starch.

  6. Xylem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylem

    An endodermis probably evolved during the Silu-Devonian, but the first fossil evidence for such a structure is Carboniferous. [33] This structure in the roots covers the water transport tissue and regulates ion exchange (and prevents unwanted pathogens etc. from entering the water transport system).

  7. Bark (botany) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bark_(botany)

    Bark tissues make up by weight between 10 and 20% of woody vascular plants and consists of various biopolymers, tannins, lignin, suberin and polysaccharides. [35] Up to 40% of the bark tissue is made of lignin, which forms an important part of a plant, providing structural support by crosslinking between different polysaccharides, such as ...

  8. Pericycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pericycle

    The pericycle is a cylinder of parenchyma or sclerenchyma cells that lies just inside the endodermis and is the outer most part of the stele of plants. [ citation needed ] Although it is composed of non-vascular parenchyma cells, it's still considered part of the vascular cylinder because it arises from the procambium as do the vascular tissues ...
