The fibers of the pericycle are light yellow and are bundled into dozens of bundles. The fibers are mostly tangentially extended, with slightly thick walls and are slightly lignified or non-lignified. The vascular bundles are extra-tough; the phloem is narrow; the xylem vessels are polygonal, with several scattered ones gathered together; the bundles are connected by lignified fibers, with a width of 6 to 25 rows of cells. The medulla is large. The walls of the 5th to 10th rows of cells around the medulla are slightly lignified and thickened, and are often hollow in the center.

Scientists have long discovered that iris can absorb large amounts of metal elements and accumulate them in its leaves. The researchers collected iris from some abandoned mines and found after analysis that the leaves of these iris are rich in zinc, nickel, cadmium and other metal elements.

Why does iris like to absorb metal elements? This has always been a puzzling mystery. However, this does not prevent people from assigning it a suitable "job" - purifying the air. People plant a large number of iris in some areas contaminated by heavy metals to use it to absorb metals and remove pollution. It has also been found that iris is most effective in removing cadmium pollution.
