End-Grained Wood

It is termed the "endgrain," and is the most porous cut of the wood. The reason for this is that the cut is perpindicular to the fluid transport direction (and cell length orientation), and all the cells seen are cut through.
An edge cut is more of a split where elongated cells join to form fibers that will split off.
Most of what is seen in woody plant endgrain is xylem conductive tissue. The lighter color toward the outside edge is phloem. The dark inside part of the xylem is just xylem that is plugged off and serves no conductive use. You can see the different layers or rings that may correspond to annualized growth.
