The tissue found between the upper and lower epidermis is called-
Mesophyll
A leaf in cross-section shows an upper epidermis, a lower epidermis and the ground tissue lying between them.
This ground tissue is the mesophyll, made of chloroplast-rich parenchyma cells and divided into palisade and spongy layers in dicot leaves.
It is the main site of photosynthesis; vascular bundles (veins) run through it, while stomata are pores in the epidermis and pith is found in stems and roots.
Hence, Mesophyll.
