What is the function of a pith of a tree?

The pith of the tree is formed from the procambium, usually during the first year of growth. The heartwood is not a storage area for "impurities". The heartwood is between the pith and the sapwood. It acts as mechanical support for the tree and contains "extractives" (not impurities) that evolve, over eons, to protect the tree from disease, insects, fungi, fire, and other environmental competitors.Pith isn't even considered as wood. It's usually a spongy type of material consisting of parenchymous cells. Heartwood is "dead" and the sapwood, cambium, and inner bark (phloem...HEY, that's my username!) are living tissues (contain cytoplasm)
