Answer Details
The zone between the epidermis and the pericycle in a dicotyledonous stem is known as the cortex. The cortex is composed of several layers of parenchyma cells, which store food and provide mechanical support to the stem. It also contains collenchyma cells, which provide additional support to the stem. The cortex is important for the exchange of gases and water between the stem and the environment.
