The part labelled II in the diagram is the pith. The pith is the innermost layer of the cortex, and it is made up of parenchyma cells. These cells are thin-walled and have large vacuoles. The pith stores food and water, and it also provides support for the plant.

Here's why the other options are incorrect:

Xylem is a type of vascular tissue that transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. It is located in the center of the stem, surrounded by the phloem.
Phloem is another type of vascular tissue that transports food from the leaves to the rest of the plant. It is located outside the xylem, near the edge of the stem.
The endodermis is the innermost layer of the cortex. It is a single layer of cells that controls the passage of water and minerals into the stele.
