Columella (in plants) is an axis of sterile tissue which passes through the center of the spore-case of mosses.[1]

The term columella is also used to refer to story 1 to story 4 (S1 - S4) cells in the root cap located apically of the quiescent centre. In fungi it refers to central vacuolated part in hyphae.
