Step-by-step solution
The central part present in the root or stem having the tissues derived from the procambium is known as stele in plants. The stele contains the vascular bundles, xylem and phloem for the storage and transport of water and nutrients. Pith is a ground tissue which stores and transports nutrients in the plants and is located in the centre of the stem in some plants. The pericycle is a layer of cells which surrounds the stele.
