Detailed explanation-2: -The inner bark, or “phloem”, is pipeline through which food is passed to the rest of the tree. It lives for only a short time, then dies and turns to cork to become part of the protective outer bark. The cambium cell layer is the growing part of the trunk.

Detailed explanation-3: -Finally, cambium is also called the inner bark, which is the layer found between the dead, outer bark, and sapwood. The sapwood is found between the cambium and the heartwood at the core of the trunk.

Detailed explanation-4: -The inner soft bark, or bast, is produced by the vascular cambium; it consists of secondary phloem tissue whose innermost layer conveys food from the leaves to the rest of the plant. The outer bark, which is mostly dead tissue, is the product of the cork cambium (phellogen).
