Plants: The Internal Structure of Dicot Stems

The video explains the internal structure of plant stems, focusing on dicots and monocots. It details the tissue layers in dicot stems, including the dermal, ground, and vascular tissues. The dermal layer consists of the epidermis, cortex, and endodermis, each with specific functions. Ground tissue provides structural support, while vascular tissues, phloem and xylem, transport nutrients and water. The pith, found in the center of dicot stems, stores and transports nutrients.

Explain the difference between phloem and xylem in vascular tissues.

What is pith and what is its function in dicot stems?
