The cortex of a herbaceous stem is mainly made of soft supportive and storage tissues.

šŸ‘‰ The cortex is mainly:

š—£š—®š—æš—²š—»š—°š—µš˜†š—ŗš—® (š—Æš˜‚š—¹š—ø š—¼š—³ š—¶š˜)

āŒ A. sclerenchyma and collenchyma
Sclerenchyma = very hard, lignified tissue (not typical cortex main component)
āŒ B. collenchyma and xylem
Xylem is a vascular tissue, not cortex
āŒ C. sclerenchyma and parenchyma
Sclerenchyma is not the main cortex tissue in herbaceous stems
āœ… D. parenchyma and collenchyma (Correct)
Parenchyma → storage + basic cortex bulk
Collenchyma → flexible support šŸ’Ŗ

This is the correct cortex composition in herbaceous stems
