Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A layer of tissue in plants that undergoes secondary growth and creates xylem and phloem.
A
Vascular cambium
B
Cork cambium
C
Internode
D
Zone of elongation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This tissue is called vascular cambium. They form the cambial ring in plants. Formation of the cambial ring can be explained by recalling the anatomy of dicot stems. In a dicotyledonous stem, the primary xylem and primary phloem are separated by cambium cells called intrafascicular cambium.

Detailed explanation-2: -cambium, plural Cambiums, orCambia, in plants, layer of actively dividing cells between xylem (wood) and phloem (bast) tissues that is responsible for the secondary growth of stems and roots (secondary growth occurs after the first season and results in increase in thickness).

Detailed explanation-3: -Vascular cambium and cork cambium, also called secondary meristem, are responsible for secondary growth in plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -(Recall that xylem is located toward the interior and phloem toward the exterior of the bundle.) The cells of the vascular cambium divide and form secondary xylem (tracheids and vessel elements) to the inside, and secondary phloem (sieve elements and companion cells) to the outside.
