Solution

The correct option is B Cortex
In dicot stem, the lateral branches are exogenous in origin and they come out from the cortex of the stem. However, in dicot root, the lateral roots are endogenous in origin because they come out from the pericycle of the stem.
A. Pericycle gives rise to the lateral roots.
B. Cortex gives rise to the lateral branches in stem.
C. Pith is a storage organ.
D. Epidermis gives rise to scales and trichomes.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Cortex'
