The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Structure of a Plant Root**: - In a typical plant root, there are several layers of tissues. The outermost layer is the epidermis, which protects the root. Beneath the epidermis lies the cortex, which is a type of ground tissue. 2. **Identifying the Cortex**: - The cortex is the region that lies between the epidermis and the central cylinder (also known as the stele). The stele contains the vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) and other components like the pericycle and endodermis. 3. **Defining the Layers**: - The layers from outside to inside are: - Epidermis (outermost layer) - Cortex (the region we are focusing on) - Endodermis (inner layer of the cortex that surrounds the stele) - Pericycle (layer just outside the vascular bundles within the stele) 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the cortex is specifically located between the epidermis and the stele. 5. **Choosing the Correct Option**: - Among the given options, the correct answer is "epidermis and stele". ### Final Answer: Cortex is the region found between the epidermis and stele. ---
