• Pith

• epidermis

• phloem

is a tissue in the stems of vascular plants. Pith is composed of soft, spongy parenchyma cells, which in some cases can store starch. In eudicotyledons, pith is located in the center of the stem. In monocotyledons, it extends also into flowering stems and roots.

The outer protective coat of a tree is called cork. It is one of the components of tree bark. The tissues of bark become old and the secondary meristem replaces them. is made up of multiple thick layers as a result of this process.

• cork

• phloem

• cambium

is a single layer of cells that makes up the dermal tissue covering the stem and protecting the underlying tissue. Woody plants have an extra layer of protection on top of the epidermis made of cork cells known as bark
