1. Next to hypodermis in stems and to epidermis in roots, lies the general cortex. It is few to many layered in thickness. It is parenchymatous in both stems and roots. The cells are thin-walled and may or may not have the intercellular spaces between them.

2. The cells of cortex of young stems and leaves possess chloroplasts and perform photosynthesis. General cortex provides the mechanical support, performs photosynthesis in leaves and young stems and also stores the food material.
