The ground tissue system synthesizes organic compounds, supports the plant and provides storage for the plant. It is mostly made up of plant cells called parenchyma cells but can also include some collenchyma and sclerenchyma cells as well. Parenchyma cells synthesize and store organic products in a plant.
The primary root tissue is responsible for storing food, which is one of the products of photosynthesis. This layer is sometimes called the cortex. This layer is found after the epidermis and often makes up the bulk of the root. This is especially the case in some plants, such as carrots or radishes.uch like in the plant stem, the vascular cylinder in the root contains xylem and phloem. Xylem moves water and dissolved minerals within a plant, while phloem moves food throughout a plant. The xylem generally moves water up from the roots, while the phloem moves food from the leaves to the roots.
