Cortex of dicot stem is demarcated into
In dicot stems cortex is less extensive than stele and it is heterogenous. It is clearly demarcated into collenchymatous hypodermis in which collenchyma may be discontinuous or continuous ring, more general cortex than hypodermis which is parenchymatous with prominent intercellular spaces and parenchymatous single layered endodermis with barrel shaped cells that store food materials.
