Identify the labeled parts of the plant root (2.3.1), identify and describe the function of the root cap (2.3.2), and identify and describe the stele (2.3.3).

2.3.1 2: Epidermis 4: Xylem 8: Phloem 2.3.2 Part 1 is the root cap. Its function is to protect the delicate meristematic cells of the root tip as it grows through the soil. 2.3.3 Name: Stele or Vascular cylinder Description: The stele is the central part of the root, containing the vascular tissues. In a dicot root, it consists of a central, star-shaped xylem with phloem bundles located between the arms of the xylem. It is surrounded by the pericycle and endodermis.

2.3.2

Part 1 is the root cap. Its function is to protect the delicate meristematic cells of the root tip as it grows through the soil.

2.3.3

Name: Stele or Vascular cylinder
Description: The stele is the central part of the root, containing the vascular tissues. In a dicot root, it consists of a central, star-shaped xylem with phloem bundles located between the arms of the xylem. It is surrounded by the pericycle and endodermis.

Identify the labeled parts of the plant root (2.3.1), identify and describe the function of the root cap (2.3.2), and identify and describe the stele (2.3.3).
