Stem of dicotyledonous plants
Dicot plants have a primary root system, where one main root grows deeper, with lateral roots branching off. This structure allows the plant to anchor itself more effectively in the soil and access water from deeper layers. The primary root also plays a key role in nutrient storage, aiding the plant's survival in adverse conditions.
01
Pith
The central part of the stem, consisting of soft parenchymal tissue, used for storing and transporting nutrients.
02
Cambium
A layer of cells between the xylem and phloem responsible for the thickening of the stem.
03
Sclerenchyma
Tissue that provides strength and rigidity to the stem.
04
Xylem
Conductive tissue that transports water and minerals from the roots to other parts of the plant.
05
Cortex
The outer layer of the stem, involved in the storage of nutrients.
06
Phloem
Conductive tissue that transports photosynthesis products from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
07
Epidermis
The outer protective layer of cells on the stem.
