Plant vascular bundle, illustration C018 / 0915
Plant vascular bundle. Illustration showing the structure of vascular bundle from a monocotyledon root. At centre (top) is the pith, which is surrounded by the xylem (white tubes) and phloem (green tubes). Xylem transports water around the plant, while phloem transports carbohydrates. The outer layer (bottom) is the cortex, which consists of parenchyma cells

Cortex Monocot Monocotyledon Phloem Pith Root Stele Transpiration Transport Vascular Bundle Xylem
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a plant vascular bundle, specifically from a monocotyledon root. The illustration, created by Claudia Stocker for Science Photo Library, provides an insightful glimpse into the inner workings of plants. At the center of this botanical marvel lies the pith, surrounded by white tubes known as xylem and green tubes called phloem. The xylem serves as nature's water transportation system, efficiently delivering this life-sustaining resource throughout the plant. On the other hand, phloem takes charge of transporting carbohydrates essential for growth and energy distribution. Together, these two vital components ensure that plants thrive and flourish. As we explore deeper into this illustration, we encounter the outer layer known as cortex – composed of parenchyma cells. This protective shield safeguards the delicate internal structures while also providing support to the entire plant. Through this artwork's meticulous detailing and scientific accuracy, it becomes evident how interconnected every aspect of botany truly is. From transpiration to biological processes within each cell type represented here - all contribute to sustaining life in flora. Claudia Stocker's exceptional talent has beautifully captured both the complexity and elegance found within plant biology through this stunning visual representation. It serves as a reminder that even in their silent existence; plants are magnificent creations worthy of our admiration and study.
