Detailed explanation-1: -Heartwood is dead wood in the centre of the tree. It gives the tree its strength.
Detailed explanation-2: -In botany, the bark is the outer covering of the stems and the roots of woody plants, especially of trees. Its three major components are (1) periderm, (2) cortex, and (3) phloem. The periderm is the layer of the bark that is exposed to the environment. It is composed of the cork, the cork cambium, and the phelloderm.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sapwood is xylem that is still carrying water from the roots to the tree’s crown. Even though the cells may be dead, they still contain vessels that allow water to be pumped up from the root. In young trees, the whole trunk may be composed of sapwood as heartwood has not yet had time to form.
