The spongy tissue in the rind of oranges (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pith

(Other definitions for pith that I've seen before include "hats may be made of this" , "Spongy tissue like that lining an orange skin" , "White tissue under the rind of citrus fruit" , "Tissue inside the rind of citrus fruits" , "Essence; tissue inside rind" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
