B VENKAT · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: B
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
 **Primary Concept**: Plant Anatomy
 **Related Topics**: Plant tissues, vascular bundles, stele
 **Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of plant structures like epidermis, cortex, endodermis, pericycle, stele, and vascular bundles.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
The question asks about the location of the cortex in a plant.
**Method & Steps**:
1. Understand the arrangement of plant tissues:
     Epidermis is the outermost layer of the plant.
     Cortex is the region between the epidermis and the vascular tissue (stele).
     Endodermis is the innermost layer of the cortex.
     Pericycle is the layer of cells immediately surrounding the vascular tissue.
     Stele is the central cylinder of vascular tissue.
     Pith is the central tissue within the stele of many plants.
2. Identify the location of the cortex based on the above definitions:
     The cortex is located between the epidermis and the stele (vascular bundle).
3. Choose the option that matches the definition:
     Option B correctly states that the cortex is found between the epidermis and the stele.
**Result**: Option B is the correct answer.
**Verification**: The definition of cortex aligns perfectly with option B.
## OPTION ANALYSIS
A :x: The cortex is not found between the endodermis and vascular bundle; the endodermis is part of the cortex.
B ✓: Correctly identifies the location of the cortex between the epidermis and the stele.
C :x: The cortex encompasses the pericycle and endodermis; it's not found between them.
D :x: The cortex is external to the endodermis and pith.
## LEARNING AIDS
 **Common Mistakes**:
  1. Confusing the location of the cortex with the endodermis or pericycle:  Remember the cortex is the broader region surrounding the vascular tissue.
  2. Misunderstanding the terms stele and vascular bundle:  The stele is the central vascular cylinder, which includes the vascular bundles.
 **Quick Tips**:
  1. Visualize a cross-section of a dicot stem to understand the relative positions of the tissues.
  2. Use mnemonics or diagrams to remember the order of tissues from the outside to the inside of the stem.
