Detailed explanation-1: -E: Heartwood is the central, supporting pillar of the tree. Although dead, it will not decay or lose strength while the outer layers are intact.
Detailed explanation-2: -In botany, the trunk (or bole) is the stem and main wooden axis of a tree, which is an important feature in tree identification, and which often differs markedly from the bottom of the trunk to the top, depending on the species. The trunk is the most important part of the tree for timber production.
Detailed explanation-3: -The xylem is composed of dead, thick cells that act as pipes for transporting water and nutrients up the tree. The active portion of the xylem is known as the sapwood. The sapwood is found near the outside of the tree. Older xylem is known as heartwood and is found in the middle of the trunk.
