The following diagram shows the anatomy of the root of an epiphytic orchid. The function of the structure marked X is:
1. Photosynthesis
2. Storage
3. Protective
4. Repair and healing
In the given diagram:
1. the lighter outer area is the heart wood or alburnum and is mechanically strong, resistant to decay, and less easily penetrated by wood-preservative chemicals
2. the lighter outer area is the Sapwood or alburnum and is involved in transport of water and minerals to the crown of the tree
3. the darker inner area is the heart wood or duramen and is involved in transport of water and minerals to the crown of the tree
4. the darker inner area is the sap wood or duramen and is mechanically strong, resistant to decay, and less easily penetrated by wood-preservative chemicals
