Detailed explanation-1: -The shoot apical meristem produces the three primary meristems: procambium, ground meristem, and protoderm. The procambium produces vascular tissues.

Detailed explanation-2: -…as well as in the procambium; the procambium is the primary meristematic tissue between the primary phloem and xylem. The first cork cambium is a lateral meristem that arises in the pericycle; the successive cork cambia arise in the secondary phloem.

Detailed explanation-3: –The procambium is a primary meristematic tissue that provides primary tissues, that include xylem and phloem, to the vascular system.-It lies to the inner side of the protoderm and forms the epidermis.-The other primary meristems are protoderm and ground meristem.

Detailed explanation-4: -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).

Detailed explanation-5: -Plerome is the type of meristematic tissue that gives rise to the the vascular tissue. Therefore the tissue is also called as procambium.
