Chapter 28, Problem 8SQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Secondary growth is the process by which the stems and roots thicken. Secondary growth involves the cell division in two meristems: vascular cambium and cork cambium. Vascular cambium gives rise to two new tissues: secondary phloem to its exterior and secondary xylem to its interior. The order from the center to outside is primary xylem, secondary xylem, vascular cambium, secondary phloem, primary phloem, and cork cambium.
