The cortex consists of several layers of thin-walled
parenchyma cells. Intercellular spaces are small but
abundant. The cortical cells can be rounded, oval or
angular.
They store food. The major function of the cortex in
the root hair zone is conduction of water and minerals
from epiblema to the interior of the root.
