Description: This stained light micrograph shows the epidermis and cortex of a root surrounding a central core of vascular tissue. An inner cortex layer is the endodermis, which surrounds a cylinder of meristematic tissue called pericycle. The pericycle has produced a young branch (lateral) root that has grown through the cortex and the epidermis.
