$\huge\black{\mid{\fbox{\tt{ANSWER}}\mid}}$

Pericycle : It is the outermost portion of stele. It is a cylinder of thin-walled parenchymatous or sometimes thick-walled sclerenchymatous tissue. It may be single-layered to multilayered.

Functions!!

Functions of pericycle:

• Thick-walled pericycle gives mechanical support to the plants.
• When composed of parenchymatous cells, it may act as storage organ of food materials.
• In dicot roots, the pericycle becomes meristematic and forms a part of the cambial ring. This cambial ring gives rise to the secondary tissues.
• Pericycle gives rise to the lateral roots.

The cells may be thin-walled to thick-walled. Pericycle may be present in the form of patches also. Pericycle is not present in monocotyledonous stems.
