Detailed explanation-1: -Secondary growth is the outward growth of the plant, making it thicker and wider. Secondary growth is important to woody plants because they grow much taller than other plants and need more support in their stems and roots. Lateral meristems are the dividing cells in secondary growth, and produce secondary tissues.
Detailed explanation-2: -In primary tissues, the bark of stems (broadly defined) includes the phloem, cortex, and epidermis, and the bark of roots would be the cortex and epidermis. The cork cambium subsequently is responsible for secondary growth that replaces the epidermis in roots and stems. Detail, bark of tree.
Detailed explanation-3: -The lateral meristem tissues are responsible for the secondary growth of plants. The secondary growth of plants increase in stem thickness and it is due to the activity of the lateral meristems, which are absent in herbs or herbaceous plants.
Detailed explanation-4: -In trees, the layers of secondary xylem form wood. The layers of the secondary phloem form bark.
