WHAT DOES PERICYCLE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Pericycle

The pericycle is a cylinder of parenchyma or sclerenchyma cells that lies just inside the endodermis and is the outer most part of the stele of plants. Although it is composed of non-vascular parenchyma cells, it is still considered part of the vascular cylinder because it arises from the procambium as do the vascular tissues it surrounds. In dicots, it also has the capacity to produce lateral roots. Branch roots arise from this primary meristem tissue. In plants undergoing secondary growth, the pericycle contributes to the vascular cambium often diverging into a cork cambium.

Definition of pericycle in the English dictionary

The definition of pericycle in the dictionary is a layer of plant tissue beneath the endodermis: surrounds the conducting tissue in roots and certain stems.
