The ground tissue system includes the pith, which is the central region of the stem that stores and transports nutrients. Therefore, pith is derived from the ground tissue system. Root hairs are derived from the epidermis (outermost layer of a root), cuticle is derived from the dermal tissue system (outer layer of a plant), periderm is derived from the cork cambium (a lateral meristem), and phloem is derived from the vascular tissue system (involved in transport of nutrients).
