Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -C: The cambium cell layer is the growing part of the trunk. It annually produces new bark and new wood in response to hormones that pass down through the phloem with food from the leaves. These hormones, called “auxins”, stimulate growth in cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -All wood starts as sapwood. It is formed just under the bark by a thin layer of living cells known as the cambium, which produces bark cells to the outside and wood cells to the inside.
