What are the storage structures for the root?

The primary storage structures for roots are the epidermis, cortex, endodermis, pericycle, and vascular tissue (xylem and phloem). These tissues work together to support the root's functions of anchoring the plant, absorbing water and nutrients, and storing carbohydrates.
