Plant root development. Artwork showing the first three stages in the development of a plant root. The first of these three stages (upper left) shows the root consisting of three undifferentiated layers that will form the future epidermis (white), cortex (orange) and vascular (grey) layers. The second stage (upper right) shows the development of the primary phloem, endodermis (yellow), pericycle, and primary xylem (green). The third stage (lower centre) shows the further development of the primary xylem and primary phloem (blue), and the cambium. For the fourth and fifth stages of plant root development, see image C009/0276.
