Pith or Medulla:

  • It is the internal ground tissue.
  • It forms the central cylindrical core of the stem. 
  • It is bounded by the vascular bundles externally.
  • It is made up of loosely arranged parenchymatous cells.
  • It may be chlorenchymatous in the young delicate stem.
  • It is well developed in dicot stem.
  • It is reduced in the dicot root.
  • It is absent in monocot stem.
  • It is well developed in monocot root.
