Summary Introduction

To explain: The way in which the vascular cambium and the cork cambium of a herbaceous eudicot root function in the production of secondary tissues.

Introduction: The roots and stems of the plants are produced with secondary growth. Gymnosperms and woody eudicots have primary growth at the apical meristem and at the lateral meristem, the secondary growth occurs. The secondary tissue is produced as a result of the activity of two lateral meristems, namely the cork cambium and vascular cambium.
