Vascular plant parts {stem, plant}| can connect roots to leaves. Dicots have three stem layers: central pith, vascular-bundle ring, and outer cortex. Stem pith stores food. Stem vascular bundles have cambium to heal plant wounds. Stem cortex has dead-cell outer layer and live-cell inner layer. Monocots have epidermis, stomata, vascular bundles throughout stem, no pith, and surface cortex cells with thick cell-wall layers.
