Detailed explanation-1: -Plants’ secondary growth is controlled by the lateral meristem tissues. The activity of the lateral meristems, which are lacking in herbs and herbaceous plants, causes secondary growth of plants to increase stem thickness.

Detailed explanation-2: -In botany, secondary growth is the growth that results from cell division in the cambia or lateral meristems and that causes the stems and roots to thicken, while primary growth is growth that occurs as a result of cell division at the tips of stems and roots, causing them to elongate, and gives rise to primary tissue.
