Caption: Umbrella grass stem. Polarised light micrograph of a section through a umbrella grass stem (Cyperus alternifolius). Vascular bundles (brown) can be seen containing xylem (larger openings) and phloem (smaller openings) tissues. Xylem transports water and mineral nutrients from the roots throughout the plant, while phloem transports carbohydrates and plant hormones around the plant. Magnification: x14 when printed 10 centimetres wide.
