Summary
| Description |
English: This image shows a cross-section of a chicory root. Chicory is a plant known for its thick roots, which store nutrients. The circular shape in the image is the cross-section of the root. The center is the vascular cylinder, where the xylem and phloem transport water, minerals, and food through the plant. The lighter outer layer is made up of parenchyma cells that store nutrients. The darker edge around the outside is the epidermis, which protects the root and helps prevent water loss. |
