Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -This region consists of dead elements and do not conduct water but provides mechanical support. This central region is called heartwood (duramen).
Detailed explanation-2: -Heartwood is formed from old, “retired” sapwood and becomes the strong spine of the tree. Heartwood is preferred for woodworking, as it is far less susceptible to fungus and contains much less moisture than sapwood, which means it will shrink less when it dries.
