Detailed explanation-1: -Hint: The difference between the pith and cortex is that pith is the tissue which is situated towards the vascular tissue interior to the side. Cortex is the tissue which is located between the vascular tissue layer and the epidermis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ground tissue makes up most of the interior of a plant. It carries out basic metabolic functions and stores food and water. Vascular tissue runs through the ground tissue inside a plant. It consists of bundles of xylem and phloem, which transport fluids throughout the plant.
Detailed explanation-3: -The endodermis is the site at which minerals and nutrients pass from the soil into the vascular tissue system (i.e., xylem and phloem) of the plant’s roots.
