Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The procambium forms ____
A
epidermis
B
primary xylem and phloem
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So, as we know, they form the primary xylem and primary phloem in mature stems and roots. Xylem and phloem are vascular tissue so we can say that procambium forms only primary vascular bundles and the vascular cambium and the cork cambium may also arise from the procambium. So the correct option is D.

Detailed explanation-2: -The procambium gives rise to vascular tissues, including the primary xylem and primary phloem. The ground meristem produces the cortex, a ground tissue. The protoderm produces the epidermis, a dermal tissue. The secondary meristems (lateral meristems) are the vascular cambium and cork cambium.

Detailed explanation-3: -…as well as in the procambium; the procambium is the primary meristematic tissue between the primary phloem and xylem.

Detailed explanation-4: -The procambium gives rise to cells that make up the primary xylem and the primary phloem. Aside from the primary vascular tissues, the vascular cambium and the cork cambium may also arise from the procambium. Synonym(s): provascular tissue.

Detailed explanation-5: -The cork cambium is a lateral meristem and is responsible for secondary growth that replaces the epidermis in roots and stems. It is found in woody and many herbaceous dicots, gymnosperms and some monocots (monocots usually lack secondary growth).
