Cortex is the region found between
epidermis and stele
pericycle and endodermis
endodermis and pith
endodermis and vascular bundle
As learnt in
Stele -
The Stele is the whole central mass of vascular tissue (vascular cylinder) with or without pith surrounded by endodermis. Steler system is started from pteridophytes.
- wherein
In order of evolution types of stele are: protostele (most primitive and simple), siphonostele. Solenostele, dictyostele, eustele and atactostele.
Cortex and its type -
Cortex lies in between epidermis and pericycle which is further divided into hypodermis, general cortex and endodermis-
* Hypodermis - It is collenchyma in dicot stem & sclerenchyma in monocot.
* General cortex - Parenchyma and it stores food.
* Endodermis (starch sheath) - Made up of parenchymatous barrel-shaped. Endodermal cells of roots are known as Casparian strips.
