The storage tissue at the center of vascular plant stems

Real World Example

Imagine trying to find space for all your belongings in a tiny apartment. Just like you're organizing your belongings in the limited space to ensure everything fits and functions well, vascular plants have a central area in their stems known as 'pith' that stores and organizes essential nutrients and water. The pith acts as an efficient storage solution within the plant, much like how you manage space in your apartment to keep everything accessible and functional, ensuring the plant's overall health and growth.
