A system of organization or government originating from within or developing inward from a central source, often used in botany.
From endo- (within) + -archy (rule, from Greek arkhē). The term combines Greek roots meaning 'inside' and 'rule' to describe internal development or centralized organization.
Unlike monarchy (rule by one) or democracy (rule by the people), 'endarchy' describes systems that originate from an internal center, which is mostly used now in botany to describe how plant tissues develop from inside out.
