The cortex, composed primarily of parenchyma cells, is the largest part of the primary root, but in most dicots (eudicots) and in gymnosperms that undergo extensive secondary growth, it is soon crushed, and its storage function assumed by other tissues.
There is usually a main shoot and side shoots, called branches. The side shoots grow from axillary buds that form at the nodes. In a young plant, most of the growth in the shoot system occurs in the main shoot and the developing leaves.During this stage, the growth is concentrated in the terminal bud at the shoot tip. The plant invests its energy into growing taller in order to maximize the plant's exposure to light.here is usually a main shoot and side shoots, called branches.
